Are Beets Low Carb or Slow Carb? Beets themselves are not 100% compliant with a strict slow carb or keto lifestyle (too much sugar in them), but the amount of beet juice clinging to the pickled beet eggs in this recipe is minimal.
A quick pickle recipe for your beets and carrots without sugar! Add the beets to a sterilized quart-sized jar. Add the carrots to another. Add 2 cloves garlic, 1 clove, and 1 sprig of herbs to each jar as well. Heat the water and vinegar over medium heat in a 2-quart saucepot. Add in the salt.
One cup of cooked beets contains 13 grams of carbs, nine grams of sugar and 3.8 grams of fiber. This makes it possible to eat a cup of beets because your daily net carb limit is around 30 to 50 grams on keto. However, if you’re trying to lose weight, you’ll want to consider some keto-friendly alternatives.
Canned beets are a great pantry staple for when you want that pop of fall color without all the stress. Because fresh beets can be messy to peel and dice, so grabbing a can will simplify a lot of recipes. My mom used to serve plain beets as a simple side dish, but there is so much more you can do with them!
