Is Tamarind Keto Friendly?

Tamarind is a type of fruit native to Africa. Tamarind tress bear small brown pods of fruit which contain a sweet pulp.

Each serving of tamarind (20 tamarind) contains 23 g of net carbs. Sadly, that's far too carb-heavy to fit the keto diet.

Alternatives

Unfortunately, only a few fruits have a low enough carb count to fit the keto diet. If you're dying for some fruit, berries tend to be your best bet. Here are a few keto-friendly options:

• Blackberries
• Raspberries
• Strawberries

Although it may not spring to mind when you think "fruit," avocados are the most keto-friendly fruit you can find. They're high in healthy fats and have a low carb profile, making them ideal for keto.
