It also has high sugar (about 46 g per 100 g) and higher saturated fat (about 10 g per 100 g), which can be a concern if eaten often or in large portions. On the other hand, it provides healthy fats and some protein from nuts, and it has a little fiber (about 1.2 g). It also contains sodium (about 194 mg per 100 g) and cholesterol (about 65 mg per 100 g), so it\u2019s best to enjoy it in a balanced way within your daily meals and snacks.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions small: Treat polvoron as a dessert\/snack, not a main food. For example, have 1\u20132 small pieces, then pair it with fruit or plain yogurt if you want something more filling.","Balance the rest of the day: If you\u2019ll have polvoron, choose lighter snacks for the other snack time (e.g., banana, kamote, or a glass of milk) and keep your main meals well-portioned.","Watch frequency: Enjoy it occasionally (like during holidays) rather than daily, so sugar and saturated fat don\u2019t add up.","Choose smarter pairings: Pair with water or unsweetened tea\/coffee instead of extra sweet drinks.","Everything in moderation\u2014polvoron can fit into your routine when you manage portion and frequency."]},"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\/polvoron?agent=true"}}}
