Bulk Update Ingredients Across Recipes

Wholesum now allows you to update an ingredient across multiple recipes at once directly from the Ingredients page.

This is especially useful when you want to standardize ingredient measurements or make bulk recipe adjustments without editing each recipe individually.

For example:

• Change rice from cups to pounds
• Update basil from bunches to ounces
• Adjust quantities across several recipes at the same time
• Rename ingredients consistently across your recipe library

How It Works

Step 1: Go to the Ingredients Page

Navigate to the Ingredients page from the top menu

Find the ingredient you want to update.

Select the ingredient using the checkbox, then click Update Ingredient.

Step 2: Update the Ingredient Details

A modal window will open showing:

• Ingredient Name
• Unit Type
• Unit
• Recipes currently using the ingredient
• Quantity used in each recipe

From this screen you can:

• Rename the ingredient
• Change the unit type
• Change the measurement unit
• Adjust quantities recipe-by-recipe

Example:

You may originally have:

• 2 cups rice
• 4 cups rice

And want to convert them to:

• 1 pound rice
• 2 pounds rice

You can update all affected recipes from one screen instead of opening each recipe individually.
