What is this food?
AI-assisted
Lemongrass leaves (tanglad) — usually used as a fragrant herb for flavoring soups, drinks, and stews.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Lemongrass leaves add fiber (about 3.3 g per 100 g), which helps keep your digestion moving well and supports fullness between meals. They also contribute small amounts of carbohydrates and very little fat (about 1.4 g, with saturated fat around 0.34 g). Sodium is low (about 10 mg), so it’s a good herb choice when you’re trying to keep meals lighter on salt.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Use lemongrass as a flavor base (boil with water or broth) so you can rely less on extra seasoning.
  • If you’re making a drink, keep added sugar low—aim for a refreshing taste without sweet overload.
  • Pair it with balanced meals: include rice or carbs in proper portions, plus protein (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs) and vegetables for nutrients.
  • For snacks, enjoy lemongrass-infused tea or broth as part of your 1–2 snacks/day routine.
