Danngit and its nutrient
Danggit..... a product of Bais City from the province of Oriental Negros, Bais City is the second-most important city of Negros province, in the Philippine Islands. The province of sugar Industry and the home of dolphins and danggit. Very thankful to the Bais City Nutrition Committee for giving this danggit to us, as a token of appreciation after we conduct the Monitoring and Evaluation of Local Level Program Implementation in Nutrition ( MELLPI) .
Its only now that I realize that danggit is not exclusive only for Cebu, In Baranggay Okiot, Bais City, People dried their freshly cought danggit in their rooftops and now its a growing livelihood.

this is one of my favorite food for breakfast, Let us take a look how many pieces of danngit are we allowed tp eat in a meal.
serving size : 1 piece
size of danggit : 5 1/2 " long x 1 1/2 " wiith
weight : 80 grams / piece
I really love this danggit . with its size , I can consume 15 pieces of fried danggit and that can give me 84.315 mg of sodium and that would be my protein for my meal. A teaspoon of salt (heaped) contains 200 mg of sodium . Satisfying... I am a low salt eater so nothing to worry about my sodium consumption . I can eat danggit even 20 to 25 pieces for breakfast .:-)
