However, this lohuwa version is also high in sugar (about 45 g per 100 g) and high saturated fat (about 10.6 g per 100 g), plus sodium (about 428 mg). Too much of these, especially if eaten often, can make it easier to exceed daily sugar and saturated fat goals. The good news: with balanced portions, it can fit into a day with 3 full meals and 1\u20132 snacks.","healthier_tips":["Keep it to a small serving (e.g., a small handful) and treat it as a snack, not a main viand.","If you\u2019re choosing between options, go for less sweet or less processed peanut snacks when available.","Balance your snack: pair lohuwa with fruit (like banana or apple) or unsweetened drinks to avoid stacking more sugar.","On days you eat lohuwa, reduce other sweet snacks (cakes, candies, sweet drinks) so your total sugar stays reasonable.","For sodium: if it\u2019s salty peanut snack, drink water and avoid pairing with other salty foods (chips, instant noodles) in the same day."]},"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\/lohuwa-peanut?agent=true"}}}
