What is this food?
AI-assisted Boiled fragrant premna leaves (a leafy vegetable).
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted This leafy veg is low in calories, so it can help you add volume to meals without piling on energy. It also provides carbohydrates for everyday fuel, and it has very little fat and no cholesterol. Sodium is also low, which is helpful for keeping your overall salt intake in check. Since it’s a vegetable, it’s a good way to balance your plate alongside rice, ulam, and protein.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Use it as your ulam/side with 1–2 scoops of cooked rice and a serving of protein (fish, chicken, tofu, or eggs).
- For snacks, pair it with a protein-rich option (like boiled egg or yogurt) rather than adding more rice.
- Keep the cooking simple: boil or lightly sauté with minimal oil, and flavor with garlic, onion, or herbs instead of extra salt.
- Aim for leafy vegetables at least once or twice a day as part of your 3 meals plus 1–2 snacks routine.
