WHY TO LIMIT IT ON KETO
- Extremely high carbs: 16.3g net carbs per 100g is among the highest of all fruits
- High sugar density: Primarily glucose and fructose with minimal nutritional complexity
- Low fat content: Provides no satiety despite sugar content
- Minimal protein: Insufficient protein for meal building
- Traditional sweetener: Historically used as natural sweetener for its concentrated sugars
- Ketosis disruptor: Will quickly exceed daily carb allowance
