The fiber also helps you feel full, which can make it easier to keep your meals balanced. They also provide some carbohydrates (10.5g) with low sugar (2.1g) and very little sodium (7mg), which is helpful for everyday eating. For fats, it has small amounts (1.4g total fat, 0.3g saturated fat), so it\u2019s generally a good add-on to meals\u2014especially when paired with lean protein and not too much salty or fatty toppings.","healthier_tips":["For your 3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks a day, use cassava leaves as a side vegetable (about 1\u20132 cups cooked) to add fiber and volume to your plate.","Cook with less oil and go easy on salty ingredients (like too much bagoong or salty broth).","Pair with protein (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs) and a reasonable serving of rice so you get balanced energy.","If you\u2019re watching carbs, keep the rest of the meal (rice, noodles, starchy sides) in proper portions since cassava leaves still contain some carbohydrates."]},"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?agent=true"}}}
