What is this food?
AI-assisted
Libas fruit (ripe) — a small, edible fruit commonly used in Filipino dishes, usually eaten as part of meals or as a flavorful add-on.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Libas fruit is a low-fat option (about 0.1g fat per 100g) and provides carbohydrates (about 11.7g) with dietary fiber (about 2.6g). Fiber helps support regular digestion and can help you feel fuller, which is helpful when you’re planning 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks a day. It also has natural sugars (about 7.7g) and low sodium (about 26mg), so it can fit well as a fruit component in a balanced plate.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Use libas fruit as a fruit/vegetable side or mix it into meals (e.g., with viands or as part of a salad) to add fiber and flavor.
  • Pair it with protein (fish, chicken, eggs, tofu) and healthy carbs (rice in proper portions) so your meal stays balanced.
  • If you’re having it as a snack, keep the portion reasonable and combine with water or unsweetened drinks.
  • For best satiety, add it alongside other fiber-rich foods (vegetables, legumes) rather than relying on fruit alone.
Common Filipino dishes
Sinigang (with libas as a sour/fruit ingredient), Ginataang gulay (with libas as an add-in), Bicol express-style vegetable mix (with libas added), Mixed fruit salad or fruit-based side, Fresh libas with bagoong (small portion as a side)
