What is Virtual Pantry?

Our concept
What is Virtual Pantry?

Virtual Pantry is a health and lifestyle application that will scan barcodes and store the product information in the users virtual pantry. Users will be able search their pantries for recipes based on their personal preferences. For example, they could search for meals under 600 calories that can be made with the ingredients they currently have in their home. Also potentially use the app to analyze what ingredients you have at home, and while shopping find a way to make a meal for a certain amount of money per person.
