WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Used in teaspoon amounts—adds big flavor with minimal net carbs per serving
  • Very high fiber helps keep net impact low relative to total carbs
  • Aromatic oils (e.g., carvone) deliver intense flavor, so a little goes a long way
  • Enhances keto bread and kraut without needing sugar
  • Pairs well with fatty meats and cheeses to balance macros
  • Carb-aware swap for rye flavor in low-carb baking
