The coconut topping adds fat, including saturated fat (1.41 g) and some sugar (21.6 g), so it\u2019s best to enjoy it as an occasional treat rather than a daily snack. It\u2019s also relatively low in sodium (92 mg), which is a plus. Since it\u2019s high in carbs and sugar, pairing it with a balanced meal or choosing smaller servings can help keep your daily energy and sugar intake more manageable.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions small: treat biko as a snack\/dessert, not a main carb replacement every time.","Pair it with protein and\/or fruit for better balance (e.g., a glass of milk or yogurt, or a serving of fruit) so you feel fuller longer.","If you\u2019re eating biko, consider reducing other sweet items that day.","For your 3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks routine: place biko in one snack slot, and keep the other snack lighter (like nuts in small amount or fruit).","Choose biko with less coconut topping when possible, or share a serving to lower saturated fat and sugar per person."]},"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\/rice-cake-glutinous-biko-w-grtd-coconut-topping?agent=true"}}}
