Low-Carb Plant Foods

Leafy greens are low enough in net carbs that meaningful quantities usually add only a few grams total. Low-carb foods add eating volume, fiber, phytonutrients, and minerals to keto or low-carb diets. Macadamia, pecan, and walnut are identified as the lowest-carb, highest-fat nuts. Fermenting cabbage into sauerkraut can reduce net carbs and add probiotics. Roasting nuts reduces their nutritional benefit by oxidizing and degrading polyunsaturated fatty acids. For vegans on a ketogenic diet, avocado is described as the foundational calorie source.
