It also has moderate sodium (about 424 mg). Eating it too often or in big portions can make it harder to keep your daily sugar and saturated fat within a balanced range. The good part: if you enjoy it, you can still fit it into your day by choosing smaller portions and pairing it with meals that have more fiber and nutrients (like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains).","healthier_tips":["Keep the portion small: treat it like a dessert\u2014start with 1\u20132 small pieces, not a full handful.","Choose timing: have it after a full meal (one of your 3 meals), so it\u2019s less likely to replace nutrient-rich food.","Balance the rest of the day: for snacks, pick options like fruit, yogurt, or nuts in measured amounts instead of more sweets.","Watch frequency: enjoy peanut brittle occasionally rather than daily.","Pair smart: if you want something sweet, pair with water or unsweetened drinks, and add fiber-rich foods in your meal."]},"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\/peanut-brittle?agent=true"}}}
