The 12.5 g natural sugar is normal for fruit, and pairing banana with protein or healthy fats can help balance your snack. It\u2019s also low in sodium and has very little fat (about 0.9 g), so it\u2019s generally a light option. Since it has some saturated fat (0.31 g per 100 g), it\u2019s best to keep portions reasonable\u2014especially if you\u2019re also having other fatty or sweet foods in the same day.","healthier_tips":["For snacks, try 1 small to 1 medium banana (instead of large portions) and eat it with plain yogurt, milk, or a handful of nuts to improve balance.","If you\u2019re having banana as a carb for meals, pair it with ulam (fish\/chicken\/eggs\/tofu) and vegetables to make your plate more complete.","Because it\u2019s sweet, avoid having banana together with very sugary drinks or desserts\u2014choose one sweet item per snack time.","For daily eating (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), banana works well as a snack or a small part of your meal carbs."]},"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\/banana-cavendish-ripe?agent=true"}}}
