What is this food?
Many-spiked flacourtia (a fruit). For every 100 g, it’s about 118 kcal and is rich in carbohydrates, with notable dietary fiber (3.9 g) and natural sugars (21.7 g). It also has a small amount of fat (0.6 g) and very low sodium (1 mg).
Why it matters to health
This fruit can support your digestion because of its dietary fiber. The natural sugars provide quick energy, which can fit well in a day’s meals and snacks—especially if you pair it with protein or healthy fats to help keep you full. Since it has 21.7 g sugar per 100 g, it’s best to enjoy it in reasonable portions, especially if you’re watching your sugar intake. The good news: it’s low in sodium and cholesterol, so it won’t add much to heart-risk concerns when eaten as part of a balanced diet.
Healthier tips
- Use it as a snack or part of a fruit serving—aim for about 1 small serving (not a large bowl) per snack.
- Pair it with protein (e.g., yogurt, milk, or a small handful of nuts) to improve fullness.
- If you’re having it with rice or bread, keep the rest of the snack lighter so your overall carbs stay balanced.
- Choose fresh or minimally processed forms when possible, and avoid adding lots of sugar or condensed milk.
