They also have very small fat (about 3.1g) and no cholesterol. However, mixed pickles are typically high in sodium (about 732mg per 100g) and also high in sugar (about 29.2g per 100g), which can add up if you eat them often or in large portions. Choosing pickles as a side (not a main) helps you enjoy the flavor while keeping your daily balance for meals and snacks.","healthier_tips":["Use pickles as a side topping (small servings) for meals like rice, ulam, or sandwiches.","Pair with fiber-rich foods (vegetables, legumes, whole grains) to support better fullness.","If you\u2019re watching salt, rinse pickles briefly and drain well before eating.","Since pickles can be sweet and salty, keep them to occasional servings\u2014especially if you also eat other salty items (instant noodles, processed meats, chips) in the same day.","For a balanced day: aim for 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks, and treat pickles as part of the meal\u2019s flavor, not the main snack."]},"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\/pickles-mixed?agent=true"}}}
