WHY IT'S NOT KETO-FRIENDLY

  • High net carbs (~46g/100g) make it *not keto-compatible*
  • High glycemic load and low fiber relative to carbs can disrupt ketosis
  • Very low fat content—doesn’t support keto macro ratios
  • For a sandwich fix, choose cloud bread or keto bread instead

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • May be *fortified* with folic acid and iron (brand dependent)
  • Provides some B vitamins and a quick source of energy for non-keto diets
  • Naturally *not gluten-free* (standard formulations contain wheat)
