WHY IT'S NOT KETO-FRIENDLY
- High net carbs (~79g/100g dry, ~28g cooked) overwhelm keto carb budgets
- Low fiber and virtually no fat—poor keto macro profile
- This item contains the nutrients or compounds listed above; evidence for specific health outcomes depends on dose, preparation, and individual context.
- Better keto swaps exist (e.g., Riced Cauliflower, Konjac Rice (Shirataki))
PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
MIX WITH CAULIFLOWER RICE
If you include rice occasionally, blend Riced Cauliflower 2:1 with basmati to cut net carbs per serving.
COOL & REHEAT (RESISTANT STARCH)
Cook, chill overnight, then reheat. This may modestly increase resistant starch—still not keto, but slightly lowers effective carbs.
