KETO VERDICTYES

Raspberries are excellent for keto at ~5.4g net carbs per 100g (≈2.7g per 50g handful). They’re fiber-rich, antioxidant-dense, and lower in sugar than most fruits—great for satisfying a sweet tooth without sabotaging ketosis when portions are measured.

WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Among the lowest-net-carb berries: ~5.4g per 100g fits most keto macros
  • Very high fiber (6.5g/100g) helps blunt glucose response and increase fullness
  • Rich in polyphenols (e.g., anthocyanins) with antioxidant properties
  • Lower natural sugar than most fruits, offering gentle sweetness
  • Satiating volume: lots of bite per carb thanks to seeds and fiber
  • Easy to portion—use 30–75g as a dessert or recipe accent
