What is this food?
Shanghai pork roll (with yacon), a savory pork-based roll. For 100g, it’s about 285 kcal and provides protein plus carbs and fat.
Why it matters to health
This food can be filling because it has protein and carbohydrates. It also has fiber (about 2.1g) which helps with fullness and digestion. However, it’s also relatively high in saturated fat (9.3g) and sodium (343mg), and it has cholesterol (91mg). Keeping portions and frequency helps balance these, especially if you’re eating 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks daily.
Healthier tips
- Portion: Aim for a smaller serving (e.g., 1 small roll or about 50–75g) and pair it with more vegetables.
- Balance the plate: Add a side of non-starchy veggies (like lettuce, cabbage, or pechay) and a reasonable serving of rice if needed.
- Watch sodium: Go easy on salty dips/sauces (soy-based, bagoong, or extra seasoning) to keep total sodium in check.
- Choose smarter snacks: If you have this for a meal, keep your next snack lighter (fruit, yogurt, or nuts in small portions).
- Yacon: If yacon is part of the recipe, it can add a naturally sweet taste—still, keep the overall serving size in mind.
