It has some fiber (about 1.1 g per 100 g) which supports digestion. However, it\u2019s also high in sodium (about 798 mg) and sugar (about 28.6 g), so too much can add up quickly\u2014especially if you use it often on rice, sandwiches, or viands. The good news: it\u2019s typically a flavor food, so keeping portions small helps you enjoy the taste without overdoing salt and sugar.","healthier_tips":["Use it as a condiment only\u2014start with 1\u20132 tablespoons per meal, then adjust to taste.","Balance it with plain rice or whole grains, plus viand (fish, chicken, tofu) and vegetables to keep your plate well-rounded.","If you\u2019re watching salt, choose meals with less salty sauces (e.g., go easy on soy sauce, bagoong, or processed toppings).","For snacks, pair it with foods that don\u2019t already have lots of salt\/sugar (e.g., add relish to a simple sandwich with less processed fillings)."]},"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\/pickle-relish?agent=true"}}}
