WHY IT'S NOT KETO-FRIENDLY
- Not suitable for ketogenic diets due to very high net carbs
- Gluten-free does not mean low-carb—still carb-dense
- Even modest servings can use up a full day’s keto carbs
- Low in fat; poor macro profile for ketosis
- Better low-carb alternatives exist (e.g., cauliflower rice, konjac rice)
