It also provides some natural sweetness (sugar 4.6g) and carbohydrates (9.7g), so it works best as part of your plate rather than as the main carb. Sodium is low in this boiled form (3mg), which is good for keeping your overall salt intake in check. For fat, it\u2019s very low (0.4g total fat, 0.07g saturated fat), so it\u2019s a light add-on to meals.","healthier_tips":["Use onion as a flavor base for meals (soup, nilaga, stir-fry) to reduce the need for extra salt or heavy sauces.","Pair it with protein (fish, chicken, tofu) and fiber-rich sides (vegetables, brown rice, or kamote in smaller portions) for balanced meals.","If you\u2019re having it as a snack, keep portions small\u2014about 1\/2 cup cooked\u2014and add a protein or yogurt to stay full.","Since it has some carbs, don\u2019t let it replace your main vegetables\u2014mix it with other non-starchy veggies (like pechay, kangkong, or carrots) for better variety."]},"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\/onion-bombay-bulb-boiled?agent=true"}}}
