However, it\u2019s very high in sodium (about 6630mg per 100g), so frequent or large portions can push daily salt intake up. Pairing it with fiber-rich foods (like vegetables) and keeping portions reasonable helps balance your day\u2019s meals and snacks.","healthier_tips":["Portion: use it as a flavor\/protein add-on (small servings), especially if you already have salty viands for the day.","Soak\/clean: if the product allows, soak and rinse to help reduce surface salt before cooking.","Balance your plate: pair with vegetables and a reasonable serving of rice or other carbs.","Watch the day\u2019s salt: if you eat this, go lighter on other salty items (fish sauce-heavy dishes, instant noodles, processed snacks) during the same meal.","Meal timing: since you usually have 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks, keep this mainly for meals (not multiple snacks) to maintain a steady, balanced intake."]},"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\/emperor-pink-ear-dried?agent=true"}}}
