The 50 Best Low-Carb Foods , Plus Recipe Ideas & Tips
While most root veggies and fruits aren ’ t usually considered to be “ low carb ,” the majority are still very nutrient-rich , low in sugar overall , and good additions to any diet . In fact , puréed , shredded , “ riced ” or cooked root veggies and fruits can often sub for added sweeteners or even grains in many recipes .
The same can be said for some beans or legumes , such as chickpeas that can be made into �our , or hummus that makes a creamy addition to many low-carb recipes . These foods are high in antioxidants , provide much-needed �ber and help provide enough sweetness to kill a sugar craving without needing to add extra cane sugar . For that reason , fruits and starchy veggies I recommend including in your diet are :
Berries — like strawberries , blackberries , blueberries or raspberries Tart cherries Cranberries Kiwi Citrus fruits Melon Sweet or purple potatoes Rutabaga Beets Celeriac Parsnips
Beans and legumes — such as chickpeas , black beans , mung beans , adzuki beans , etc . — are also not necessarily low carb , but still can be healthy in moderate amounts . If you do choose to eat legumes or grains , I recommend soaking and sprouting most �rst . This helps release more of their protein , vitamins and minerals while also making them easier to digest .
