Pili nut: verdict by goal
The details
Blood sugar: Buttery, high-fat, low-carb nut — great as-is; the candied pili sold as pasalubong is a dessert, not this.
How to choose: Raw or dry-roasted, unsweetened.
How to use it: Eat raw/roasted; skip the sugar-glazed (candied) versions.
How to store: Airtight, cool; the oils go rancid if warm.
Sensible portion: small handful, daily
