It’s widely used as a culinary herb or dried spice. Italian flat-leaf and French curly-leaf are the two most prevalent types of parsley. Parsley has long been used medicinally as a herb, essential oil, or extract to help digestive issues and conditions like allergies, inflammatory diseases, and high blood pressure[2]. The mild and refreshing taste of parsley invigorates a range of keto recipes, like this green goddess dressing, Egyptian salad, or these delicious Harissa spiced chicken meatballs. Like many green leafy vegetables, parsley is absolutely a keto-friendly vegetable. It is very low in carbs, and the fiber content of parsley brings down the carb count even more, if you’re counting net carbs. A whole cup of
chopped parsley (more than most people will eat in one sitting) has only 3. 8 grams of total carbs, or 1. 8 grams of net carbs.
What Are the Benefits of Parsley?So now that you know parsley is keto, should you include it in your diet? There are lots of good reasons to do so. Like many herbs, parsley is very high in vitamins and in beneficial substances like flavonoids.
When Is Granola Keto? Unfortunately, you may not find many options straight off the shelf for keto-friendly granola. The primary ingredient in granola is oats which are too grain-heavy to keep your body in ketosis. Oats mostly consist of carbohydrates, and have very little fiber to reduce your net carbs. As a result, even a single serving of granola might be enough to kick you out of the ketosis sweet spot. Even if you find a bag that is not heavy on oats, it likely has too much sweetener to be considered diet-friendly. Granolas are often sweetened not just with granulated white sugar but also with brown sugar or honey–none of which are suitable as part of a keto diet.
