Fresh cranberries are very low in carbohydrates. A one-ounce serving of fresh cranberries has just 3 grams of carbs and 1 gram of fiber, totaling 2 g net carbs.1 However, plain fresh cranberries are so tart that they’re almost inedible on their own. You probably won’t be popping the fresh ones as a snack any time soon!
Instead, cranberries are typically cooked in refined white sugar to make them more palatable and to create a pleasant tang, rather than an overwhelming bitterness. They might also be sweetened and dried into craisins.
Most jarred or canned cranberry sauces pack a hefty punch when it comes to carbs and sugar making them far from keto friendly. Some have as many as 28.3 grams of carbs in a half-cup serving, with less than a gram of fiber.
However, cranberry sauce can be okay on keto when you make your own. The beauty of homemade cranberry sauce is you control exactly what ingredients you use, leaving out all the corn syrup and sugar and using keto-friendly sweeteners instead.
