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
