Cilantro is basically free on keto. It is a fresh herb, so you use small amounts and the carbs stay near zero.

Keto notes

  • About 0.9g net carbs per 100g, and a normal sprinkle is a fraction of that
  • Chop the leaves over tacos, curries, guacamole, and grilled meats
  • Blend the stems into a quick chimichurri or green sauce with olive oil
  • Buy it fresh and store the bunch stem down in a glass of water

If it tastes soapy to you, that is genetic and not a keto problem.
