Salsa verde FAQ
Is salsa verde keto?
Yes, salsa verde is generally considered keto-friendly. A typical serving size of salsa verde (about 2 tablespoons) contains around 2-3 grams of carbohydrates. Since the ketogenic diet allows for 20-50 grams of net carbs per day, salsa verde can be easily incorporated into a keto diet without exceeding carb limits.
Is salsa verde vegan?
Yes, salsa verde is typically vegan. This classic Mexican sauce is traditionally made with tomatillos, chilies, onions, garlic, cilantro and other herbs, and lime juice, all of which are plant-based ingredients. However, it’s always important to check if your store-bought salsa verde has any non-vegan ingredients.
Is salsa verde gluten free?
Yes, salsa verde is typically gluten-free, as its main ingredients (tomatillos, chilies, onions, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice) do not contain gluten. However, certain brands may add thickeners or other ingredients that do contain gluten, so it’s always a good idea to check the label if you have celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity.
Is salsa verde low FODMAP?
Homemade salsa verde can be made low FODMAP. The main ingredients including tomatillos, chilies, garlic-infused oil, a small amount of onion, lime juice, and herbs, could make a salsa verde fall within the low-FODMAP category. However, store-bought versions may contain high-FODMAP ingredients such as onion and garlic in larger amounts, so it’s recommended to read labels if you’re strictly following a low-FODMAP diet.
