What is this food?
Bayuno fruit is a tropical fruit you can enjoy as a fiber-rich snack or as part of your meal’s side (about 1 small bowl or a palm-sized serving). Per 100g, it has around 74 kcal and is naturally sweet.
Why it matters to health
Bayuno fruit can support everyday health because it provides dietary fiber (5.6g per 100g), which helps you feel full and supports regular digestion. It also has carbohydrates (13.9g) and naturally occurring sugar (5g), so it’s a good option for a snack—especially when paired with protein or nuts to keep your energy steadier. It’s also low in fat (0.7g) and very low sodium (15mg), which makes it a practical choice for balanced eating.
Healthier tips
- Use it as your 1 snack for the day: pair bayuno with plain yogurt, boiled egg, or a small handful of nuts for better balance.
- Keep portions simple: start with 1 cup or about 100–150g, then adjust based on your hunger and activity.
- If you’re cutting down on added sugar, enjoy it fresh rather than in sweetened drinks or desserts.
- For meals, add it to fruit sides or combine with other fruits/leafy greens to make your plate more colorful.
