If you saut\u00e9, use less oil and add flavor with garlic, onions, and herbs.","For snacks, you can include a small serving of cooked greens if you\u2019re making a light meal (e.g., with boiled egg or tofu), but keep it as part of your overall daily balance."]},"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\/roselle-lvs?agent=true"}}}
