Using it as part of your daily meals helps you build a balanced plate with vegetables, but portioning matters.","healthier_tips":["Use it as your vegetable side in one of your main meals (lunch or dinner), not as the only food on the plate.","Start with a smaller portion, then adjust based on your rice intake (for example, keep rice to about 1 cup cooked per meal, then add greens).","Rinse and soak if needed, then cook with less added salt (go easy on bagoong, patis, and seasoning mixes).","Pair with lean protein (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs) and add healthy fats in small amounts (like a little olive oil or nuts) to make the meal more balanced.","Because it\u2019s dried, it\u2019s easy to over-serve\u2014aim for a reasonable serving size and enjoy it regularly as part of your 3 meals plus 1\u20132 snacks per day."]},"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\/taro-lvs-dried?agent=true"}}}
