WHY TO LIMIT IT ON KETO

  • Moderate–high net carbs (~8.8g/100g) make regular portions hard to fit
  • Small servings add up quickly in strict keto macros
  • Legume starch content is higher vs. typical keto vegetables
  • Lower-carb alternatives (e.g., asparagus, green beans) provide similar texture and fiber

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

MINIMAL GARNISH

Use 1–2 tablespoons as a colorful garnish on salads or mains—weigh and log.

SOUP ADDITION (LIMITED)

Stir a small handful into low-carb soups for texture; divide across many servings.

STIR-FRY ACCENT

Add a tablespoon or two at the end with very low-carb veg to keep carbs in check.

MASHED AS SIDE (RARE)

Mash with Butter and Cream Cheese for a tiny, occasional side; portion strictly.
