HOW TO ENJOY IT ON KETO
- Portion-based flexibility: small amounts (teaspoon–tablespoon) can fit within daily macros
- High fiber (7g/100g) helps with fullness relative to total carbs
- Used mainly as a flavor/functional accent rather than a bowl-sized fruit
- Rich in anthocyanins and polyphenols to complement nutrient density on keto
- Better as concentrated infusions/syrups divided across servings
- Choose unsweetened or allulose-sweetened preparations to avoid added sugars
