What is this food?
Philippine dillenia (a local fruit/plant food often eaten as part of meals or snacks, depending on how it’s prepared). For nutrition, it’s a low-fat food with some natural carbohydrates.
Why it matters to health
With about 33 kcal per 100 g and 0.2 g total fat, it can be a light option for your daily eating pattern (3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks). The 7.4 g carbohydrates provide some energy, which is helpful for day-to-day activities. Since it’s low in fat and has no cholesterol, it can fit well when you’re building balanced meals—especially when paired with protein and fiber-rich foods to help you feel fuller.
Healthier tips
- Use it as a snack or as a side to your main meal, not as the only food in your plate.
- Pair it with protein (e.g., boiled egg, fish, tofu, or yogurt) to balance your snack.
- If you’re making it into a drink or dessert, go easy on added sugar and keep portions reasonable.
- Choose preparations that keep it closer to its natural form (less added syrup) for a lighter option.
Common Filipino dishes
Fruit salad, ginataan-style fruit desserts, fresh fruit snacks, mixed fruit drinks, fruit-based kakanin toppings
