It also provides carbohydrates in a small amount and low fat (about 0.5 g) with very little saturated fat. The sodium is also low (about 10 mg), which is helpful for everyday eating. It has some natural sugar (2 g), but the fiber helps balance it. Since it\u2019s a veggie, it supports a balanced plate alongside rice and protein.","healthier_tips":["For your 3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks a day, include pimiento as part of your ulam or mixed vegetable side. Aim for about 1\u20132 servings of vegetables per meal (for example, a palm-sized portion of cooked veggies). If it\u2019s prepared with lots of oil, cheese, or salty sauces, keep the sauce\/oil portion smaller and pair it with leaner viands. To make it more filling, combine pimiento with other veggies and add a good protein (fish, chicken, tofu, or eggs)."]},"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\/pimiento-cnd?agent=true"}}}
