WHY IT'S NOT KETO-FRIENDLY
- High net carbs (~73g/100g dry, ~23g cooked) are incompatible with ketosis
- Low fat:carb ratio works against keto macro targets
- This item contains the nutrients or compounds listed above; evidence for specific health outcomes depends on dose, preparation, and individual context.
- Choose low-carb swaps like Riced Cauliflower or Konjac Rice (Shirataki) instead
- If used at all, reserve for non-keto days or targeted carb refeeds
- Whole grain benefits don’t offset carb load for keto
PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
LOW-CARB MIX-IN
If not strict keto, mix 1 part brown rice with 3–4 parts Riced Cauliflower to reduce carbs and boost volume.
PROTEIN & FAT BUFFER
Pair with Chicken Breast, Avocado, and Olive Oil to slow glucose rise (still not keto).
SWAP COMPLETELY
Replace with Riced Broccoli or Konjac Rice (Shirataki) for near-zero-carb bowls and stir-fries.
