WHY TO LIMIT IT ON KETO

  • Not keto-friendly: extremely high net carbs (~77g/100g) overwhelm daily carb limits
  • Refined flour base with low fiber and fat—poor macro fit for ketosis
  • High glycemic impact likely to spike blood sugar and insulin

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Some brands are fortified with B vitamins (folate, thiamin, niacin)
  • Provides quick energy for high-intensity, non-keto contexts
  • Generally low in fat and cholesterol (but carbohydrate-dense)

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

AVOID / SWAP

Skip on keto. Choose lower-carb crunch like cheese-crisps or pork-rinds; pair dips with cucumber or celery instead.
