KETO VERDICTLIMIT

Green grapes are not suitable for keto with ~17g net carbs per 100g. Their high sugar content makes them one of the higher-carb fruits. A very small portion (≈20–30g, ~3–5 grapes) might fit flexible carb cycling, but they’re best avoided on standard keto.

WHY TO LIMIT IT ON KETO

  • Not recommended: ~17g net carbs per 100g is too high for most keto diets
  • High sugar density: nearly all carbs are simple sugars, not fiber
  • Low satiety: minimal fat/protein hampers appetite control
  • Easy to overeat: bite-size portions make carb creep likely
  • Modest fiber (1.6g/100g) offers limited offset
  • Rapid glucose impact can disrupt ketosis

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Contains resveratrol supporting cardiovascular health
  • Rich in flavonoids and polyphenols with anti-inflammatory activity
  • Provides vitamin K for bone and heart health
  • Includes quercetin which may support immune function
  • Supplies manganese for bone development and metabolism
  • Neuroprotective polyphenols may support brain health

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

TINY PORTION

Limit to ~3–5 grapes (≈20–30g) and pair with nuts or cheese to blunt glycemic impact.

FROZEN TREAT

Freeze 3–5 grapes for a rare, cold treat—keep portions very small.

CHEESE PLATE ACCENT

Add 3–5 grapes alongside aged cheeses, olives, and nuts for balance.

SPARKLING WATER TWIST

Muddle 1–2 grapes in sparkling-water with ice and a drop of stevia for light flavor.
