That said, some fruit can be high in carbs. Take a medium-sized banana: it contains as much as 20.3g of carbs, while the equivalent amount of avocado contains just 1.9g.</p>
<h2 class="p1">High-carb fruits</h2>
<p class="p1">Exotic fruits like pineapple, mango and banana are rich in carbs, as are raisins and other dried fruits. There are three main types of carbs, which are:</p>
<ul>
<li class="p1">Simple (sugars)</li>
<li class="p1">Complex (starches)</li>
<li class="p1">Fibre</li>
</ul>
<p class="p1">It is the type of carb that determines how your body and health are affected. Fruits high in simple carbs or sugars tend to provide a ready source of energy and may disrupt blood sugar levels. That said, naturally occurring sugars found in whole fruit are bound with fibre, which helps reduce this spike.</p>
<h2 class="p1">What are ‘net carbs’?</h2>
<p class="p1">In the keto community, ‘net carbs’ is a familiar term that refers to the amount of carbs that are absorbed by the body and contribute to calories. The figure is calculated by subtracting the amount of indigestible carbs, which includes insoluble fibre (and some sugar alcohols) from total carbs. For those of us in the UK, our food labels list fibre separately to total carbs, so we don’t need to do this subtraction.</p>
<p class="p1">When reducing anything in your diet, it’s important to make sure you’re not missing out on any vital nutrients. If you’re conscious about carbs and monitoring your intake, consider including some of our top keto-friendly fruit in your diet.</p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><a href="/recipes/collection/tomato-recipes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tomatoes</a></span> are rich in plant compounds called carotenoids, one of which is <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17391568" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s1">lycopene</span></a>. When we cook or process tomatoes, we increase the accessibility of these good-for-you compounds. Eating them with a little fat, such as an olive oil dressing, can also be helpful because it <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15927929/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s1">helps us absorb lycopene and the other protective carotenoids</span></a>. It’s also worth bearing in mind that much of the carotenoid content is found in the skin of the fruit, so eating them whole can be your best option.

<p class="p1">Although papaya is a tropical fruit, it’s not as rich in carbs as other exotic options. The soft flesh can be added to salads, made into a salsa, used in a smoothie or dessert. Half a small papaya will easily provide your vitamin C needs, along with some vitamin A, folate and potassium.</p>
