They also bring low fat (including low saturated fat) and very low sodium, which is helpful if you\u2019re watching salt intake. The sugar content is relatively low, and the fiber helps balance how the body handles carbs. Since they\u2019re leafy greens, they work well as part of your daily plate\u2014especially alongside rice and protein.","healthier_tips":["For your 3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks routine, use these leaves as your vegetable side at lunch or dinner (aim for about 1\u20132 cups cooked, depending on your appetite and the rest of your meal).","Cook with less oil and flavor with garlic, onion, tomatoes, calamansi, or herbs instead of extra salt.","If you\u2019re adding them to a viand, keep the portion of rice moderate and pair with lean protein (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs) for better balance.","To keep nutrients, avoid overcooking\u2014cook until just tender."]},"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\/sweet-potato-lvs-purple?agent=true"}}}
