They also provide some carbohydrates and natural sugars (4g), but the fiber helps balance how they affect your appetite. For heart health, the fat is low (2g total; 0.3g saturated) and cholesterol is zero. Sodium is also quite low (17mg), which is helpful if you\u2019re mindful of salt from sauces and bagoong. Tip for balance: since it has carbs (12.7g), pair it with lean ulam and keep the rice portion right for your needs.","healthier_tips":["Best as part of your ulam: add a generous serving of the leaves to your meal (e.g., 1\u20132 cups cooked, depending on your appetite).","Pair with lean protein (fish, chicken, tofu) and include a small amount of healthy fat (like a teaspoon of cooking oil) to make the meal more satisfying.","Watch what you mix with it: if you add salty sauces, bagoong, or lots of patis, that\u2019s where sodium can rise.","For daily pattern: include it in one of your 3 full meals; snacks can stay lighter (fruit, yogurt, nuts) so your plate stays balanced."]},"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\/horseradish-tree-lvs?agent=true"}}}
