They also provide some carbohydrates (about 5.7 g) and a small amount of natural sugars (about 1.1 g), plus very low fat and sodium (about 4 mg), making them a practical add-on to meals. Since they\u2019re leafy greens, they\u2019re generally a helpful choice for building balanced plates with vegetables.","healthier_tips":["Use cassava leaves as your ulam in your 3 full meals (e.g., 1\u20132 servings of veggies per meal).","Pair with a good protein (fish, chicken, eggs, tofu) and a sensible rice portion to keep meals balanced.","Keep cooking simple: boil or lightly saut\u00e9 with minimal oil; go easy on salty bagoong or extra salty seasonings.","If you\u2019re adding them to snacks (like with rice cakes or sandwiches), still aim to keep snacks lighter and balanced."]},"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-lvs-boiled?agent=true"}}}
