In Professional, you can organise a recipe's ingredients into logical groups called sections. A section is a way for you to conveniently group foods or ingredients in the Foods or Ingredients tab of a resource, rather than leaving them as one long list.
For dietary resources (meal plans, food records and 24 hour recalls), you might group the foods into meals (for example, breakfast, lunch, dinner and so on).
In recipes, you might group the ingredients into the components of the recipe (for example, sections for a cake recipe might be cake base and icing).
