What is this food?
This is boiled cashew with young leaves (cashew + young leafy greens), about 57 kcal per 100 g. It’s a vegetable-style dish that provides carbs from the plant part and a small amount of fat.
Why it matters to health
Young leaves add useful plant nutrients and fiber that help you feel full and support regular digestion. Cashew adds a bit of healthy fats, which can help balance your meal and keep energy steady. Since this serving has 10.9 g carbs and 0.4 g fat, it works well as part of a balanced plate—especially when paired with a good protein (fish, chicken, eggs, tofu) and a sensible portion of rice. It’s also low in cholesterol for this serving, which is good for everyday heart-friendly choices.
Healthier tips
- Serve as your ulam/side with 1–2 cups cooked rice per meal (adjust based on your hunger and activity).
- Pair with protein at meals (fish, chicken, eggs, tofu) to make it more filling.
- Keep added oil and salty sauces light—use garlic, onion, vinegar, calamansi, or herbs for flavor.
- If you’re having this as a snack, keep the portion smaller (e.g., 1/2–1 cup) and add a protein like boiled egg or tofu if needed.
