WHY IT'S NOT KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Not keto-friendly: ~72g net carbs per 100g dry (~24g cooked) crowds out your daily carb budget
  • Portion distortion: A typical serving (150–200g cooked) can exceed 35–45g net carbs
  • This item contains the nutrients or compounds listed above; evidence for specific health outcomes depends on dose, preparation, and individual context.
  • Better swaps: Zucchini noodles, shirataki, or spaghetti squash provide similar formats with far fewer carbs

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

LOW-CARB “PASTA” SWAP

Use zucchini-noodles or shirataki-noodles; toss with olive-oil, pesto, and parmesan-cheese for a keto-friendly bowl.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH BOWL

Roast spaghetti-squash, then top strands with meat sauce (ground-beef-90-10) and pecorino-romano for a lower-carb comfort dish.
