It also has fat (6.4 g) with saturated fat (2.2 g) and cholesterol (47 mg). For everyday health, these nutrients matter because too much sodium and saturated fat can make it harder to keep blood pressure and heart health in a good range, and added sugar can add up quickly across the day. The good part: when you eat it in the right portion and frequency, it can still fit into a balanced meal.","healthier_tips":["Use it as a small add-on to meals (e.g., toppings or a side), not the main bulk of the plate.","Pair with non-starchy vegetables (like pechay, kangkong, broccoli) and fiber-rich carbs (brown rice, kamote, or whole grains) to balance the higher sugar and sodium.","Since it\u2019s salty and sweet, keep it to 1\u20132 times per week and watch how much you take per serving.","For your 3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks day: if you have sweet cured pork at lunch, choose lower-salt snacks (fruit, yogurt, nuts in small portions) for the rest of the day.","Rinse or drain if the product is very salty, and avoid combining it with other salty items (instant noodles, processed cheese, salted fish) in the same meal."]},"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\/pork-sweet-cured?agent=true"}}}
