What is this food?
AI-assisted
Libas fruit (unripe) — a sour, crunchy wild fruit usually eaten as a vegetable/side or mixed into dishes. For 100g, it’s about 40 kcal and has around 3g fiber and 8.9g carbs.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Libas is a good choice for adding fiber to your meals (about 3g per 100g). Fiber helps keep you full longer and supports healthy digestion. It also has low fat (about 0.1g) and very low sodium (about 8mg), which is helpful for everyday eating. The carbs and natural sugars are present (about 8.9g carbs, 2.7g sugar), so it works best as part of a balanced plate—especially when paired with protein and other non-starchy vegetables.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Use libas as a side or mix-in for your 3 full meals (e.g., with viand or as part of a fresh salad).
  • Pair it with protein (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs) and fiber-rich veggies to make your plate more filling.
  • If you’re having it as a snack, keep the portion small and avoid adding lots of sugar or sweet sauces.
  • For best digestion, wash well and eat it fresh or lightly prepared.
Common Filipino dishes
