Is ginger keto-friendly?
Ginger is borderline for keto — it works only in small portions. It has 15.8g net carbs per 100g (17.8g total carbs − 2g fiber). A typical serving — 1 can (12 fl oz) — is about 56.1g net carbs. On a standard keto diet (20–50g net carbs per day), even one serving uses a large share of your daily carbs, so keep portions small or save it for a higher-carb day.
