They also have a small amount of carbohydrates and natural sugars, plus very low fat and no cholesterol. Sodium is also very low (about 5 mg per 100 g), which makes it a good choice for everyday meals. The main caution is not the food itself, but how it\u2019s prepared\u2014if you add lots of salty sauces or seasonings, sodium can rise quickly.","healthier_tips":["Use it as a vegetable side for your 3 full meals (aim for at least 1\u20132 servings of veggies per meal).","Keep the flavor with garlic, ginger, and herbs; go easy on soy sauce, oyster sauce, and MSG-heavy mixes.","For better balance, pair with a lean protein (fish, chicken, tofu) and a reasonable portion of rice or noodles.","If you\u2019re eating it as a snack, keep the portion small and pair with protein (e.g., tofu or egg) for steadier energy."]},"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\/chinese-leek-lvs-boiled?agent=true"}}}
