WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Staple for keto dressings, glazes, and pan sauces
  • Pairs with fats (olive oil, mayo) to boost keto ratios

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Adds flavor variety without spiking carbs or calories
  • Acid and spices can enhance meal satisfaction and adherence
  • Pairing with fats may aid absorption of fat-soluble nutrients from vegetables
  • No sugar crash or glycemic swings when used in small amounts
  • Mustard seed phytonutrients contribute trace antioxidants
