They also give protein and complex carbohydrates (24.3 g) that can help keep your energy steady across your 3 meals plus 1\u20132 snacks. The carbs come with fiber, so they\u2019re usually more satisfying than refined carbs. It has very low fat (0.6 g) and low sodium (5 mg), which is helpful for overall heart-friendly eating. Note: it still has carbs, so portion size matters\u2014especially if you\u2019re also eating rice, bread, or noodles in the same meal.","healthier_tips":["Portion: Aim for about 1\/2 to 1 cup cooked pigeon peas per meal, depending on your rice\/noodle intake.","Balance the plate: Pair with vegetables (e.g., leafy greens, okra, squash) and a leaner protein or fish if needed.","Watch add-ons: If you\u2019re making it into a soup or stew, go easy on salty ingredients (like extra bouillon, bagoong, or processed toppings).","Use it for snacks too: Add a small serving to a meal or have it with fruit\/vegetables to keep snacks filling.","Hydrate: Since it\u2019s high in fiber, drink water regularly, especially if you\u2019re eating it more often."]},"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\/pigeon-pea-seed-dried-boiled?agent=true"}}}
