Use sparingly on keto. Many wasabi pastes include starch/sugar—~20–30g net carbs per 100g—but a pea-sized dab (≈1–2g) contributes minimal carbs.

WHY TO LIMIT IT ON KETO

  • Intense heat and flavor means tiny portions go a long way
  • Feasible on keto when limited to pea-sized amounts with sashimi or low-carb dishes

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Traditionally fermented/plant compounds may offer mild anti-inflammatory support

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

SASHIMI CONDIMENT

Serve a pea-sized dab with salmon or tuna sashimi (skip rice) and tamari.
