It provides carbohydrates for energy, and it has very little fat and cholesterol. The small amount of sodium (about 2 mg per 100 g) is generally low, which is good for everyday eating. Since it\u2019s mostly plant-based, it also supports better meal balance when paired with rice and viand. If you\u2019re watching saturated fat, the amount here is small (about 0.19 g per 100 g), but the overall fat still depends on how you cook it (for example, adding oil or salty toppings).","healthier_tips":["Use it as a ulam for lunch or dinner: aim for about 1\u20132 cups cooked, depending on your appetite and your rice portion.","Boil or lightly saut\u00e9 with minimal oil; avoid heavy, salty sauces.","If you\u2019re eating rice, keep the rice to your usual portion and let the vegetable fill the rest of the plate.","For snacks, you can include it as part of a meal (not as a stand-alone snack) since it\u2019s best with protein-rich viand.","Pair with a good protein source (fish, chicken, tofu, or eggs) to make your meal more satisfying."]},"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\/spanish-plum-young-lvs-boiled?agent=true"}}}
