Are "amaranth leaves" allowed on keto?

(xysa) #1

according to google, it has 65g of carbs for 100 grams. I thought all leaves were ok?

I had never heard of it before, but looking it up, 1 cup had 126g carbs and only 13g of it are fiber.

I’d say that’s a hard no for Keto.

You should never make a blanket assumption like that. Even kale has more carbs than spinach and should be consumed in mideration. Most leafy veggies are okay, but you still have to check - as you did here. Good job!

I’d love to know what this means. All includes hemlock leaves, for the record.
