What is this food?
Orange, Ladu (a type of orange fruit). It’s a sweet, juicy fruit that’s usually eaten as-is or as part of fruit snacks.
Why it matters to health
Oranges like Ladu provide carbohydrates and natural sugars for quick energy, plus dietary fiber (1.6 g per 100 g) to help keep you full and support healthy digestion. The low fat (0.2 g) and very low sodium (3 mg) make it a good fruit option for everyday meals. The fiber and water content also make it easier to balance your plate—especially when you’re having 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks a day. Since it has 6.1 g sugar per 100 g, it’s best to pair fruit with a balanced snack (like nuts, yogurt, or a small serving of rice/meal) rather than relying on fruit alone for very frequent snacking.
Healthier tips
- For snacks, aim for about 1 small orange (or ~1 cup fruit) per serving, then add a protein/fiber partner if you’re still hungry (e.g., plain yogurt, a handful of nuts, or a boiled egg).
- If you’re having it after a meal, keep the portion smaller so it won’t crowd your next meal.
- Choose whole fruit over juice when possible—whole fruit keeps more fiber.
- Wash well and eat fresh; if you make fruit salad, avoid adding too much sugar.
Common Filipino dishes
