The fiber also helps you feel fuller, which is useful when you\u2019re balancing 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks in a day. They also have low fat (0.6g) and low sodium (29mg), which makes them a good choice for everyday meals. Their carbs are mostly accompanied by fiber (sugar is relatively low at 1.3g), so they\u2019re generally easier to fit into a balanced plate than more starchy foods.","healthier_tips":["Cook them with less oil and use aromatics (garlic, onion, ginger) for flavor.","Pair with lean protein (fish, chicken, tofu) and a reasonable serving of rice to complete your plate.","Try a serving of about 1\u20132 cups cooked as part of your lunch or dinner, and keep snacks for fruit, yogurt, or nuts instead of extra rice.","If you\u2019re watching sodium, avoid heavy seasoning sauces; use light salt and taste as you go."]},"data_quality":{"source":"DOST-FNRI Philippine Food Composition Tables","source_code":"ph_fct","daily_values_reference":"RENI 2002","notes":["Values are estimates per 100g edible portion.","Actual nutrients may vary by preparation and variety."]},"links":{"self":"https:\/\/api.juanutrisyon.info\/api\/foods\/american-black-nightshade-lvs?agent=true"}}}
