WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Very low net carbs (~1.4g/100g) fit any keto plan
  • High fiber (2.9g/100g) adds volume and supports digestion
  • Naturally fermented—no added sugar when traditionally made
  • Low calorie density allows generous portions
  • Nutrient-dense: fermentation can improve vitamin C and K bioavailability
