Keto friendliness
Keto adaptation requires strict avoidance of staple side dishes and deliberate ordering.
Top ingredients
Grilled meats (chicken, beef, fish), fried pork belly (chicharrón), avocado, and hearts of palm are the best traditional keto ingredients.
Danger zones
The biggest carb traps are ubiquitous rice, beans, plantains, and starchy root vegetables, often served as default sides or thickeners in stews.
Best for
This cuisine is best for experienced keto dieters who are assertive in ordering modifications and comfortable with simple protein and non-starchy vegetable combinations.
