Lemon pepper FAQ

Is lemon pepper gluten-free?

Yes, lemon pepper is generally gluten-free. Most common brands do not contain ingredients with gluten. However, it’s wise to check the label because some brands may process their spices in facilities that also process wheat products, potentially leading to cross-contamination.

Is lemon pepper high in sodium?

Yes, lemon pepper can be high in sodium. In fact, just a teaspoon of some brands can contain around 250 mg to 350 mg of sodium. The American Heart Association recommends not exceeding 2,300 mg of sodium daily, with an ideal limit of 1,500 mg per day.

Is lemon pepper low FODMAP?

Lemon Pepper can be low FODMAP, but it largely depends on the individual components of the seasoning blend. Many commercially prepared lemon peppers include onion and garlic which are high FODMAP ingredients. Monash University’s Low FODMAP Diet suggests avoiding these ingredients.

Is lemon pepper keto?

Yes, lemon pepper is keto-friendly. Like most spices, it contains minimal carbohydrates. In a teaspoon of lemon pepper, you typically find less than 1 gram of carbohydrates, making it a good choice for those on a ketogenic diet where the daily net carb intake is usually kept below 20-50 grams.
