This is a just a small list with very few information, smaller than what Wikipedia lists[1], and even include error in capitalization (SIchuan pepper). This is a bit underwhelming for a "visionary entrepreneur".

I agree. "The source of this data is the English edition of Wikipedia." I have to wonder how they ingested the data; manually? For slightly more vision, a culinary window on Wikidata would be nice, whether Wikidata is very exposed in a flexible but complex UI like https://scholia.toolforge.org/ or is hidden and simplified.

Thanks for your candid feedback. I copied the data manually into the CMS. I am looking at alternatives to that in the future, there are some projects that try to automate querying Wikipedia data. Have not tried them out, though. Any experience with that?
