It also brings low calories (about 58 kcal per 100 g), so you can add more flavor without adding much energy. The carbs and sugar are relatively low for a leafy herb, and it has some sodium (about 72 mg), so it\u2019s best to avoid over-salting when you\u2019re already using other salty ingredients.","healthier_tips":["Use parsley as a finishing herb for rice, soups, stews, and grilled dishes to boost taste and fiber. Aim to include it in at least 1 meal per day (or more if you like it) as part of your usual 3 meals plus 1\u20132 snacks. If you\u2019re watching sodium, keep the seasoning light and let the herbs do the work. For better balance, pair herb-heavy dishes with a proper portion of protein (fish, chicken, tofu) and a reasonable serving of rice or other carbs."]},"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\/parsley-lvs?agent=true"}}}
