Keto friendliness

Haitian cuisine is heavily reliant on starches, making adaptation to a strict keto diet very difficult without significant modification.

Top ingredients

Fried and stewed meats like griot (fried pork), tasso (fried beef), and fried fish, along with non-starchy greens, are traditionally keto-friendly.

Danger zones

Rice, plantains (bannann peze), root vegetables (yams, malanga, cassava, breadfruit), and black bean sauce (sos pwa) are ubiquitous and high-carb staples to strictly avoid.

Best for

This cuisine is best for keto dieters who are highly skilled at custom ordering, comfortable with significant meal deconstruction, or those with higher carb allowances.
