I just entered a new recipe with a number of ingredients. Why can't I see those ingredients in the ingredient database?

The ingredient database contains more than 8000 ingredients and their nutritional properties. An example of an ingredient database entry is "Onions, raw." Recipe ingredients are stored separately. An example of a recipe ingredient is "1 cup chopped onion." A recipe ingredient such as "1 cup chopped onion" can be linked to an ingredient in the ingredient database such as "Onions, raw" in order to perform nutritional analysis. You can add more ingredients to the ingredient database, but this is rarely necessary since the database already contains all of the ingredients found in most recipes.
