It also has a small amount of fiber (about 1.3 g) which can help with fullness and digestion, and very little fat and sodium. For health, it\u2019s best to balance cassava with protein (fish, chicken, eggs, tofu) and vegetables (like leafy greens or non-starchy veggies) so your meals are more filling and your blood sugar response is steadier. Since cassava is starchy, larger portions can raise total carbs in the day\u2014so it works best when you keep it as part of your meal plan, not as the only food.","healthier_tips":["Use a \u201c1\/4 plate cassava\u201d guide, then fill the rest with vegetables and a protein source.","Pair it with ulam that has protein (e.g., grilled fish, chicken adobo, tofu) and add non-starchy veggies for more fiber and micronutrients.","If you eat cassava as a snack, keep the portion smaller and combine with protein (e.g., cassava + egg or tofu) to stay satisfied between meals.","Choose boiled or lightly cooked versions; avoid adding too much sugar or creamy toppings."]},"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\/cassava-boiled?agent=true"}}}
