About Guiding Stars
Guiding Stars is a nutritional rating system that helps you make healthful eating choices quickly. It’s simple: the more stars you see, the better you’ll eat. One star is good, two are better and three are best. While you can find our rating system in many grocery stores to help you buy ingredients, putting healthful recipes together can be time-consuming. All the recipes in our database have been rated to make cooking a nutritious dinner at home as convenient as our rating system makes healthful shopping at the store.
