About Healthiir
What Healthiir is, how it relates to the domain's past, where its recipes and figures come from, and what it does not do.
Healthiir is an independent site of plant-based recipes and nutrition guides for home cooks in the United States. From about 2020 to 2023 the domain healthiir.com carried a health food blog of vegan recipes and nutrition posts under the same name. This site is a new publication that continues that subject: it is not written by the people behind that blog, does not reproduce their recipes or photographs, and cannot answer questions about anything published or sold there. Recipes that readers may remember from the old addresses, such as chia pudding, buckwheat pancakes or pistachio ice cream, have been written again from scratch, and the old addresses now lead to the new pages.
What the recipes are
Every recipe is a complete page: ingredients in US measures with metric weights or volumes, numbered steps with oven temperatures in Fahrenheit and Celsius, timings, substitutions, storage and the mistakes that most often spoil the dish. Recipes are written from well-established ratios and techniques and checked line by line for consistency before they are published. They are not developed in a test kitchen, and no page claims that its writers cooked, tasted or tested the dish.
How the nutrition is calculated
The nutrition on each recipe card is calculated, not estimated by eye. Each ingredient is matched to a record in USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy, Foundation Foods or FNDDS 2021-2023), weighed using the portion weights USDA lists for that record, and its nutrients are summed and divided by the number of servings. The results are rounded with the FDA Nutrition Facts label rules. Every card has a table, under "How these numbers were calculated", that lists the grams and the USDA record used for each ingredient, so you can check any figure yourself.
Where the nutrition guides get their figures
Every figure in a nutrition guide - an RDA, a Daily Value, a guideline limit, a food-safety time or temperature - comes from a fact sheet compiled from primary sources: the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, the FDA, USDA and FoodSafety.gov, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (the current 2025-2030 edition, and the 2020-2025 edition where a guide says so), and peer-reviewed papers. A page with a figure that is not on that sheet is not published. Each guide lists the sources it relies on.
What Healthiir does not do
It makes no health claims: no food on this site cures, detoxes, boosts immunity or burns fat, and no page promises weight loss. It names no brands, sells nothing and takes no sponsorship. It is general information, not medical or dietetic advice; for a health condition, pregnancy, a food allergy or a suspected deficiency, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian.
