What is this food?
Boiled young palm-like fig leaves (palm-like fig/young leaves), a simple leafy vegetable dish.
Why it matters to health
With about 19 kcal per 100 g and very low fat and cholesterol, this vegetable is a good choice for adding volume to your meals without piling on calories. It also provides some carbohydrates (about 3.2 g per 100 g), which helps round out your plate when paired with rice and protein. Since it’s a vegetable, it supports better meal balance—especially when you’re aiming for steady energy across your 3 full meals + 1–2 snacks routine.
Healthier tips
- Pair it with a lean protein (fish, chicken, tofu) and a measured serving of rice or other carbs.
- For snacks, you can also include a small portion of this as part of a veggie side (e.g., with boiled egg or tuna) instead of choosing only sweets.
- Keep the cooking simple: boil or lightly sauté with less oil and use herbs/garlic/onion for flavor.
- If you’re watching carbs, keep rice portions consistent and let the vegetables take up more of the plate.
