Keto friendliness
Adapting Dutch cuisine to a keto diet requires deliberate choices, focusing on individual components rather than traditional plated meals.
Top ingredients
Excellent traditional keto ingredients include aged cheeses (Gouda, Edam), various smoked meats and sausages, herring, and lean cuts of beef or pork.
Danger zones
Major carb traps are potatoes in all forms (stamppot, patat), bread, thick pea soups, sugary pastries, and flour-thickened gravies or sauces.
Best for
This cuisine works best for an experienced keto dieter willing to customize extensively, focus on simple grilled meats or cheese boards, and avoid most traditional preparations.
