Is Cacao Powder (raw) keto?
Keto-friendly
Yes, raw cacao powder shows 14g net carbs per 100g, but you use it a tablespoon at a time, so a serving adds only about 1g net carbs to shakes and fat bombs.

Keto notes
- The 100g number is misleading since you use a tablespoon or two
- A tablespoon adds only about 1g net carbs to shakes, fat bombs, and mug cakes
- Pick unsweetened raw cacao or plain cocoa, never a sweetened mix
- Pairs well with heavy cream, nut butter, and a keto sweetener
Store it sealed and dry so it keeps its bold, slightly bitter taste.
