I'm working on this and finding that it's a lot of work (and code) to identify the actual ingredient. Consider "all-purpose sifted flour." That's the same ingredient as "plain flour." So (so!) many ways to write the same ingredient. I'm getting there, though :)

I believe this is "easily" solved by using POS tagging. "flour" is the noun so you can throw the rest away?

That was my approach.
