Keto world cuisine refers to global, regional, and traditional foods adapted to fit a ketogenic diet, a low-carbohydrate, moderate-protein, and higher-fat eating pattern. Many cuisines around the world include naturally keto-friendly ingredients such as meat, fish, seafood, eggs, cheese, yogurt, avocado, olive oil, coconut milk, low-carbohydrate vegetables, herbs, and spices.

However, many traditional cuisines also rely on high-carbohydrate staples such as rice, bread, noodles, pasta, potato, corn, beans, lentils, plantain, cassava, wheat flour, and sugar. Keto world cuisine keeps the traditional flavors of global dishes while replacing high-carb ingredients with alternatives such as cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, shirataki noodles, cabbage, lettuce wraps, almond flour, coconut flour, flaxseed meal, psyllium husk, and low-carbohydrate vegetables.

Overview[edit]

Keto world cuisine is not a single diet based on one country or region. It is a flexible way to enjoy international flavors while maintaining low carbohydrate intake. A keto world cuisine approach may include Mediterranean, Mexican, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Middle Eastern, African, Caribbean, Latin American, European, and American food traditions.
