Combining ingredients
Updated 2026-09-02
When ingredients land on your list, ReciLore groups the ones that are the same ingredient and adds up the amounts — so "2 cloves garlic" from one recipe and "1 clove garlic" from another become a single 3 cloves garlic line.
When items don't merge
They stay separate if:
- The units differ — "200 g flour" and "1 cup flour" can't be added together, so they're listed separately.
- ReciLore isn't confident the two are the same ingredient — it won't guess. See How ReciLore matches ingredients.
You can still check both off, and you can set a single purchase quantity on a line — see Checking items off & quantities.
Questions this answers
- Why did two garlic entries become one line?
- Why are there two separate lines for the same ingredient?
