Fiber helps keep you full and supports healthy digestion, which is helpful when you\u2019re doing 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks a day. They also have some carbohydrates, but the amount is balanced by the fiber. For fats, they\u2019re very low (about 0.6 g total fat), with small saturated fat. Sodium is also low (about 4 mg per 100 g), which makes them a good choice when you\u2019re watching salty seasonings.","healthier_tips":["Use garlic leaves as your extra vegetable in lunch or dinner (about 1\u20132 cups cooked, depending on your appetite).","Cook with less oil and flavor with garlic, onions, herbs, or a squeeze of calamansi instead of heavy salty sauces.","If you\u2019re adding them to a viand, pair with lean protein (fish, chicken, tofu) and a sensible portion of rice or other carbs.","For snacks, you can include a small side of saut\u00e9ed garlic leaves with a main snack meal (like a simple egg or yogurt) to increase fiber."]},"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\/garlic-lvs?agent=true"}}}
