KETO VERDICTYES

Raw green cabbage is a workable keto vegetable at 3.3g net carbs per 100 g in this reference. A 100 g slaw portion contributes about 3.3g to a 20–25 g daily budget before dressing. Use the raw cabbage weight rather than applying this panel to a ready-made coleslaw.

WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Shred the cabbage after removing material you will discard, then weigh what goes into the bowl. A tightly packed cup of fine shreds can differ from loosely stacked broad pieces.
  • For coleslaw, keep mayonnaise, sugar, sweetened dressing and other vegetables as separate recipe entries. The cabbage panel cannot stand in for the finished salad even when cabbage is its main ingredient.
  • When braising cabbage, record the raw amount used and allocate the finished batch among servings. Cooking changes the water weight, so the same raw and cooked weights are not interchangeable.

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

BUILD A SLAW PORTION

Place the weighed cabbage in an individual bowl and add measured dressing afterward. If making a shared batch, keep the ingredient weights and divide the finished salad consistently.

Better keto swaps

  • Bok Choy — 1.2g net carbs per 100 g (reference). For a cooked leafy side, bok choy can replace cabbage, with stems and leaves prepared to suit the dish.
  • Romaine Lettuce — 1.2g net carbs per 100 g (reference). For a raw salad base, romaine offers a softer leaf texture. It is a salad swap rather than a substitute for long-braised cabbage.
