What is this food?
Spanish plum (also called siniguelas) is a sweet-tart fruit. For every 100g, it has about 88 kcal and around 20.6g carbohydrates, with very low fat and low sodium.
Why it matters to health
Spanish plum helps add natural sweetness to your day without much fat or sodium. The carbohydrates give you energy for your daily activities, and the fruit form makes it easier to include more plant-based foods alongside your meals. Since it’s still a fruit (carbs come from natural sugars), it fits best when portioned—especially if you’re also having rice, bread, or noodles at the same meal.
Healthier tips
- Pair it with a balanced snack: have Spanish plum with plain yogurt or a small handful of nuts to help keep you full.
- Portion it: try 1 small bowl (about 100–150g) as a snack, especially if your next meal includes starchy foods.
- Choose whole fruit over juice when possible, so you get more fiber from the fruit.
- Use it as a dessert option after lunch or dinner instead of sugary pastries.
