Cons

Recent reviews

I tried searching for foods I typically eat to see information about them and the search functionality was poorly executed. The categories provided by Sesame include sample product photos and the bread photo is Dave’s Killer Bread. I searched for that brand and it’s not the first result, nor anywhere in the top 25 results. I quit looking after that because I searched for other products and they didn’t show up either. Also, I searched for products with and without quotes and received the same results.

I have been looking to move to functional medicine and needed some help to improve my diet and get healthier. Sesame was very helpful in that journey! Scanning foods at the grocery store really helped me manage my ADHD and arthritis.

I’ve always been interested in the concept of food as medicine for some health issues I have, but have only really been implementing it very high level since getting into the nitty gritty of nutrients takes a considerable amount of time and effort. Sesame has taught me so much about the foods I’m putting into my body and has made me think of food and nutrients in a different light. I absolutely love this concept, and the app is really intuitive. Super excited about this!
