# recipeIngredient

An ingredient or ordered list of ingredients and potentially quantities used in the recipe, e.g. 1 cup of sugar, flour or garlic.  The ingredients can be represented as free text or more structured values.

## Expected Types

| Type | Description |
|------|-------------|
| [ItemList](https://schema.org.ai/ItemList) | A list of items of any sort—for example, Top 10 Movies About Weathermen, or Top 100 Party Songs. Not to be confused with HTML lists, which are often used only for formatting. |
| [PropertyValue](https://schema.org.ai/PropertyValue) | A property-value pair, e.g. representing a feature of a product or place. Use the 'name' property for the name of the property. If there is an additional human-readable version of the value, put that into the 'description' property. Always use specific schema.org properties when a) they exist and b) you can populate them. Using PropertyValue as a substitute will typically not trigger the same effect as using the original, specific property. |
| [Text](https://schema.org.ai/Text) | Data type: Text. |

## Used on Types

| Type | Description |
|------|-------------|
