Keto friendliness
Iranian cuisine can be adapted to keto by focusing on grilled meats and select stews, but requires conscious avoidance of staple carb dishes.
Top ingredients
Excellent traditional keto ingredients include various grilled meats (lamb, beef, chicken), herbs, yogurt, eggplant, and simple vegetable salads.
Danger zones
The biggest carb traps are the ubiquitous rice dishes (chelo, polo), stews containing legumes or dried fruits, and all traditional breads and desserts.
Best for
This cuisine works best for high-protein keto dieters who are comfortable consistently skipping rice and bread while focusing on grilled meats and vegetable-based sides.
