The small amount of fat and cholesterol is present too. High sodium can make it easier to exceed daily salt needs, which may affect blood pressure for some people\u2014especially if you already eat salty viands, instant noodles, or processed foods. The good part: when you keep portions reasonable, it can still fit into a balanced eating pattern (3 meals plus 1\u20132 snacks) without crowding out healthier, lower-sodium choices.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions small: use it as a side or topping (a few tablespoons), not a main viand.","Rinse soaked dried jellyfish well (if your preparation allows) to reduce surface salt, then drain thoroughly.","Balance the meal: pair with fresh vegetables (like cucumber, lettuce, or carrots) and a lighter dressing to add fiber and volume.","Watch the rest of the day: if you eat salty jellyfish, choose lower-sodium options for your next meals\/snacks (less bagoong, soy sauce, instant noodles).","Hydrate: drink water regularly, especially if your meal is salty."]},"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\/jellyfish-dried?agent=true"}}}
