Sriracha isn’t carb-free—about 17g net carbs per 100g (roughly 0.9g per teaspoon) thanks to added sugar. A dash or two is fine, but it adds up fast, so keep portions small or reach for a sugar-free hot sauce.

WHY TO LIMIT IT ON KETO

  • Added sugar puts it at ~17g net carbs per 100g—not the freebie it seems
  • A teaspoon (~0.9g) barely registers, but generous drizzles add up fast
  • Capsaicin-rich: Provides metabolism-boosting properties
  • Best as a small flavor accent, not a free-pour sauce
  • Sugar-free hot sauces keep the heat without the carbs
  • Fermented: Traditional fermentation may support gut health
