Optional Ingredients

Optional ingredients let you mark recipe lines that members can include or leave out. In the recipe editor, toggle Optional on an ingredient. On the member recipe it shows dimmed with a “+ Optional” chip. When a member includes it, the chip becomes “✓ Included” and that item joins shopping lists and nutrition. Until then, it stays out of both.

Mark recipe ingredients as optional so members choose what to include. Optional lines stay out of shopping lists and calculated nutrition by default.
