Keto friendliness

Adapting Ecuadorian cuisine to keto is highly challenging due to the pervasive role of high-carb starches and grains in most traditional dishes.

Top ingredients

Excellent traditional keto ingredients include various quality meats (pork, beef, chicken), fresh seafood, eggs, cheese, and avocado.

Danger zones

The biggest carb traps are ubiquitous potatoes, plantains (maduro, verde), rice, yuca, mote (hominy), corn, and most soups that are typically starch-thickened.

Best for

This cuisine is best for keto dieters who are extremely disciplined, comfortable requesting significant modifications or deconstructing meals, and willing to forgo many traditional accompaniments.
