What is this food?
AI-assisted
Garden shallot leaves (onion/shallot greens). These are the leafy parts used to add flavor and aroma to ulam, soups, and stir-fries.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Garden shallot leaves are a low-calorie way to add fiber (about 2.1g per 100g) which supports regular digestion and helps you feel fuller. They also add small amounts of carbohydrates and sugar, but the overall calories stay light. The sodium is very low (about 3mg per 100g), which is helpful when you’re building meals that are easier on the heart—especially if you keep the salt, bagoong, and seasoning sauces in check. The small amount of fat (about 1g) is not a concern when eaten as part of a balanced meal.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Use them as a vegetable base: add to sinigang, nilaga, lugaw, or stir-fry.
  • Pair with a complete plate: 1/2 vegetables (including these greens), 1/4 protein (fish, chicken, tofu), and 1/4 carbs (rice, kamote, or noodles).
  • For snacks, you can add chopped shallot leaves to egg dishes or vegetable soups to boost fiber without adding many calories.
  • If your dish uses salty ingredients (soy sauce, patis, bagoong), start with a smaller amount and adjust to taste.
