Taste the sauce first before adding more.","Add fiber: pair with garlic + saut\u00e9ed vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong) or serve with a fresh salad.","If you\u2019re having it as a snack, keep it small and avoid making it the only food\u2014combine with fruit or veggies for better 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\/snail-golden?agent=true"}}}
