What is this food?
Spring roll (Shanghai), an appetizer made with a wrapper and usually filled with vegetables and/or meat, then fried or cooked until crispy.
Why it matters to health
Per 100g, it provides energy from carbohydrates (38.3g) and some fiber (1.2g), which can help keep you full. However, it’s also higher in total fat (10g) and saturated fat (3.64g), plus cholesterol (50mg) and sodium (275mg). If you eat it often or in big portions, the saturated fat and sodium can add up—especially if your other meals are also salty or fatty. For a balanced day (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), spring rolls work best as a snack or occasional side rather than a main staple.
Healthier tips
- Keep the portion small: aim for about 2–3 pieces depending on size, and pair with a vegetable-based side (e.g., fresh salad, ensaladang gulay) to add fiber.
- Choose cooking method when possible: air-fried or baked versions are usually lighter than deep-fried.
- Watch the dipping sauce: go easy on sauce (soy-based or sweet chili) to help manage sodium and added sugar.
- Balance the rest of your day: if you have spring rolls, choose grilled/steamed viands and less salty soup for your next meal.
