WHY TO LIMIT IT ON KETO

  • High net carbs (~63.3g/100g): incompatible with standard keto macros
  • This item contains the nutrients or compounds listed above; evidence for specific health outcomes depends on dose, preparation, and individual context.
  • Minimal fat content requires pairing with high-fat foods—but carbs still dominate
  • Even small portions (2–3 prunes) deliver significant carbs (~12–13g)
  • High fiber (7.1g/100g) does not offset the extreme carb load
  • Better alternatives exist: fresh berries, small portions of fresh stone fruits

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

MICRO-PORTION SNACK

Cut one prune into tiny pieces; pair with a handful of Almonds and Cream Cheese to dilute carb impact. Track macros carefully.

BRAISED MEAT ACCENT

Add one or two finely chopped prunes to slow-cooked meat dishes for depth of flavor—distribute across multiple servings.

SALAD TOPPING (MINIMAL)

Dice half a prune over a large mixed green salad with feta, nuts, and Oil & Vinegar dressing.
