It has high saturated fat (from peanuts\/nut-based ingredients) and added sugar, which can be a concern if eaten often. On the positive side, peanuts\/nuts provide some healthy fats and protein, and it has a small amount of fiber, but the fiber is not enough to balance the sugar and calories. If you enjoy it, pairing it with a balanced meal and keeping portions helps you still meet your daily needs without crowding out more nutrient-rich foods.","healthier_tips":["Keep it as a merienda treat, not a daily staple\u2014aim for small portions (e.g., a few pieces) especially if you already had dessert.","Pair it with something that adds fullness and nutrients: plain yogurt, fresh fruit, or milk to make your snack more balanced.","Watch the rest of the day: if you eat karyoka, choose less-sweet options for your other snacks (like fruit or unsweetened drinks).","For better overall balance across 3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks, make sure your meals include rice (or other carbs), ulam (protein), and gulay so the snack doesn\u2019t replace them."]},"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\/karyoka?agent=true"}}}
