It also has some fiber (about 1.3 g), which can support digestion. However, this version has added sugar (about 13.5 g) and some fat (about 1.3 g, with saturated fat around 0.25 g). The sugar can raise overall calorie intake quickly, and too much added sugar may make it harder to keep your meals balanced. Sodium is relatively low here (about 60 mg), but the bigger things to watch are the added sugar and total calories. Good news: you can still enjoy it\u2014just keep portions and frequency in mind.","healthier_tips":["Portion first: treat it as a snack or dessert, not a main rice replacement every day.","Reduce added sugar: try less sugar or use naturally sweet add-ins (like a small amount of ripe fruit) to improve taste without as much added sugar.","Lighten the fat: use less margarine, or choose a smaller amount of healthier fat (like a measured portion of unsalted butter or a small drizzle of oil) if available.","Balance your plate: pair with protein and fiber\u2014e.g., add a side of boiled eggs, tofu, or a serving of fruit\/vegetables\u2014so your blood sugar response is steadier.","Fit it into your day: since you typically have 3 meals plus 1\u20132 snacks, keep cassava to one snack slot and avoid stacking it with other sweet snacks."]},"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-mashed-w-sugar-marg?agent=true"}}}
