Keto friendliness

Spanish cuisine offers many naturally low-carb components but requires diligent selection and modification to avoid common starch and sugar elements.

Top ingredients

Excellent traditional keto ingredients include jamón serrano/ibérico, chorizo, grilled meats, various seafood, olive oil, eggs, Manchego cheese, and non-starchy vegetables like pimientos.

Danger zones

The biggest carb traps are paella (rice), patatas bravas (potatoes), tortilla española (potatoes), croquetas (flour), pan (bread), and most desserts.

Best for

This cuisine works best for keto dieters comfortable with making substitutions, those prioritizing high-fat and moderate-protein options, and those who enjoy seafood and cured meats.

What to drink

Drinks you will see at Spanish restaurants, cafés and stalls, rated the same way as the food.
