What is this food?
AI-assisted Buko pie is a Filipino dessert made with young coconut (buko) filling and a pastry crust. It’s usually sweet and served as a snack or dessert after meals.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Per 100g, buko pie provides energy from carbohydrates (about 45.9g) and some dietary fiber (about 2g), which can help you feel satisfied. It also has fat (about 7.2g) with saturated fat (about 3.19g) and cholesterol (about 19mg), plus sodium (about 380mg). It’s also relatively high in sugar (about 18.8g), so it’s best to enjoy it in smaller portions—especially if you’re having it alongside other sweet snacks. When eaten in the right amount and frequency, it can fit into a balanced day with your 3 full meals and 1–2 snacks.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Keep the portion small (for example, 1 small slice) and treat it as a snack/dessert, not a main meal.
- Pair it with something that adds balance: a glass of water or unsweetened tea, and if possible, have it after a meal rather than on an empty stomach.
- If you’re having buko pie, choose less sweet snacks for the rest of the day (so your total sugar stays reasonable).
- Watch frequency: enjoy it occasionally, not daily.
- For a lighter option, look for versions with less sugar or thinner crust, and add fruit (like banana or mango) in a controlled portion instead of extra sweet toppings.
