They also provide carbohydrates with some natural sugars, but the fiber helps balance how they affect your appetite. With very low fat and sodium (about 6 mg), they\u2019re a lighter option to pair with rice or ulam. The small amount of saturated fat is minimal, so the bigger win here is the fiber and overall \u201cvegetable volume\u201d in your meal.","healthier_tips":["For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), use hyacinth bean pods as your extra vegetable in meals:","Serve about 1\u20132 cups cooked (or roughly 100\u2013200 g) with your rice and ulam.","Cook with less oil; try saut\u00e9ing with garlic, onions, and a splash of broth.","If you\u2019re adding to a soupy dish (like sinigang), keep the salt\/seasoning light\u2014let the vegetables add volume.","Pair with a protein ulam (fish, chicken, tofu, or eggs) to make the meal more filling."]},"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\/hyacinth-bean-pod?agent=true"}}}
