They also have very little fat (about 1.7 g) and no cholesterol. However, they\u2019re typically high in sodium (about 3565 mg per 100 g) and also contain sugar (about 15.5 g). So they\u2019re best as a side flavor (small portions) rather than a main food\u2014especially if you\u2019re watching blood pressure or salt intake.","healthier_tips":["Use pickles as a topping or side for meals (e.g., 2\u20134 tablespoons), not as a full serving.","Balance your plate: pair with rice or other carbs + lean protein + non-starchy vegetables for your 3 full meals.","If you snack, keep pickles to a small amount and choose snacks that add more nutrients (like fruit, yogurt, or nuts in small portions).","Rinse briefly if the label allows (some pickles can be less salty after a quick rinse), and check the sodium on the label when buying."]},"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-whole-gherkins?agent=true"}}}
