What is this food?
AI-assisted Emperor, pink ear, dried (a dried seafood/seaweed-type product). It’s a protein-rich dried food, usually eaten in small portions because it’s concentrated in flavor and salt.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted At 100g, it has about 181 kcal and 0.9g fat (with 0.24g saturated fat). It has 0g carbs and 0g sugar, which makes it a good add-on to meals when you want more protein without extra rice or noodles. However, it’s very high in sodium (about 6630mg per 100g), so frequent or large portions can push daily salt intake up. Pairing it with fiber-rich foods (like vegetables) and keeping portions reasonable helps balance your day’s meals and snacks.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Portion: use it as a flavor/protein add-on (small servings), especially if you already have salty viands for the day.
- Soak/clean: if the product allows, soak and rinse to help reduce surface salt before cooking.
- Balance your plate: pair with vegetables and a reasonable serving of rice or other carbs.
- Watch the day’s salt: if you eat this, go lighter on other salty items (fish sauce-heavy dishes, instant noodles, processed snacks) during the same meal.
- Meal timing: since you usually have 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks, keep this mainly for meals (not multiple snacks) to maintain a steady, balanced intake.
