Here it is, the definitive low carb fruits list! This list comes highly requested by my readers who need to know: what’s the verdict on carbs in fruit? Is there any such thing as “keto fruit” or is it too good to be true? After receiving such positive feedback on our low carb vegetable list, I wanted to create a searchable, sortable guide to display a low carb fruits list as well.
And as always, don’t forget to PIN it for later!
Can you eat fruit on the keto diet?
The answer is… it depends. Some fruits can be enjoyed in moderation, some you should avoid at all costs and some that you probably assume would be high in carbs are surprisingly low. There are also quite a few low carb fruits that are technically vegetables.
When it comes to the nutrient composition and carb content of fruit, it’s a mixed bag. Some of these will come as no surprise, but hopefully, you’ll find something new you can incorporate into your diet.
Carbs in Fruit
People are scared to eat fruit on the keto diet because there are carbs in fruit! I was one of them. After all, fruit is nature’s candy. But that doesn’t mean it needs to be avoided completely. It just means we need to do a little research and figure out what choices are best suited for our diet.
If you are following a ketogenic diet, be sure to track and measure your fruit intake to align with your goals. If any form of sweets sends you flying off the rails into some sugar-filled downward spiral, then maybe just avoid fruit altogether. I’ve been there; I get it.
The fruit you can enjoy on a low carb diet:
Fruits that aren’t so sweet. Fruits that are tart or savory tend to have much smaller amounts of natural sugar, making the overall carbohydrate count relatively low. You'll see quite a few of these in the low carb fruits list below!
Fruits that are high in fiber. For keto dieters counting net carbohydrates, fiber can be subtracted from total carb count. This exclusion of dietary fiber in the carb count allows for a wider variety of fruit that may be incorporated into your diet. Berries, for example, have a high fiber content and can be enjoyed in moderation on a ketogenic diet.
Low carb vegetables that are technically fruits. Tomatoes, tomatillos, avocados, pretty much any seed bearing vegetable... those “veggies” are fruits, botanically speaking. I’m not here to debate what a fruit or veggie is, but I won’t lie that it irks me just a little when I see people preach that you “can’t eat fruit on the keto diet” while diving face first into a pile of avocados or zucchini noodles. Maybe it’s the biologist in me (or maybe I’m just “that guy”), but you can and probably already are eating fruit on the keto diet.
A quick keto fruits list (under 7 grams net carbs per 100 grams):
- Green olives
- Avocados
- Coconut
- Rhubard
- Black Olives
- Carambola aka Starfruit
- Blackberries
- Lemon juice
- Lime juice
- Raspberries
- Strawberries
- Casaba Melon
- Gooseberries
- Prickly pears
- Acerola, aka West Indian Cherry
- Oheloberries
- Boysenberries
- Grapefruit
Fruits to avoid on a low carb ketogenic diet:
Juices or juice concentrate. When the fruit is juiced, most of the fiber gets stripped from the final product. This makes the net carb content of fruit juice higher than it’s pure fruit counterpart and will have a more significant impact on your blood sugar. The exception to this would be lemon/lime juice in moderation, as it’s quite low in sugar compared to other juices.
Dehydrated fruit. When fruit is dehydrated, the moisture is removed. This process makes dehydrated fruit more nutrient dense than its fresh counterpart and ensures higher carb and sugar count by weight. Take apricots for example. In 100 grams of raw apricot, there are 9 grams of net carbohydrates. But in 100 grams of dehydrated apricot, the net carb count skyrockets to 82 grams of net carbs. Pretty significant difference, and you’ll see the same thing with plums vs. prunes, raisins, cran-raisins, and all the other dried variety of fruits.
Fruits with over 10g net carbs per 100g in weight. Depending on your carbohydrate tolerance and whether or not you are fat adapted, you may be stretching the boundaries of nutritional ketosis by eating fruit with higher carb content or more significant quantities of the low carb fruits listed. There will always be exceptions and outliers; be sure to reference the searchable low carb fruits list below to pinpoint carb counts if you are unsure.
The low carb fruits list
The list below is pretty definitive; think every fruit you could imagine, it’s dehydrated counterpart, and it’s juicy best friend. This data was pulled straight from the USDA nutrient database in 100-gram quantities, so you can rest assured the information is reliable - even if it is a bit surprising!
Rather than picking and choosing where to draw the low carb line, I included all the higher carb fruits and preparations as well for comparison, learning, and to accommodate readers with higher carbohydrate tolerances. The list is organized by net carbs, low to high by default, but you can search for something specific, sort, and organize the low carb fruit list to customize your needs in most browsers.
If you find this to be a valuable resource, please share it with your low carb keto friends!
The fruits are listed below in 100-gram quantities for easy comparison.

Hi, I'm Tasha–nutritionist, recipe developer, and multi-published cookbook author.
Sharon says
Thank you for the list of fruits that are good low carbs and what ones have high carbs,which are alot of high carbs. Banana and strawberries are my favorite.
Tasha Metcalf says
Glad you have found the list helpful! I love making lists and thought this would be the perfect way to compare to make informed food choices. 🙂
A. Eller says
Hello, Tasha.
Prunes do the digestive tract thing for me like nothing else does. I can buy them seeded and moist; they're about an inch and a quarter in diameter. Trouble is, I'm on a low carb diet. In my experience, low carb diets come with a bit of difficulty in keeping the digestive tract moving, if you catch my drift. There is so much contrary information online about them. How many can I eat without exceeding, say, a 60-gram per day of carbohydrates from cheese, milk, eggs, tomatoes and other low-carb vegetables?
Noel Howell says
I can’t find Açaí? Any info?
Linda Napier says
Where's the quantity for each of these fruits?
Tasha Metcalf says
Everything is done in 100 gram quantities - a straight comparison across the board! 🙂
Ron says
Can’t these fruits, in all forms, be grouped by fruit name? This list is great, but it takes a long time to find a specific form of a fruit.
bob says
just click "description" at the top and it will sort them alphabetically 🙂
Chris says
I was so happy when I came across your page. I have used the USDA database for years, but have not been able to figure out how to use it w/ my Keto. I am new to Keto. It was a pure joy to see visit your page, I will be looking more into it...
grape tomatoes on keto diet says
Vitamin K in tomatoes helps to build bone.
Rho says
There are several references to grapefruit in increasing carbs. How do you differentiate one grapefruit reference from another
Linda Gossard says
never knew that fresh fruit had so many carbs have to rethink my morning meals.
dsl says
I wish I was a "Gram" girl -- the list gives me a good idea of what is lowest -
but converting to ounces or half a fruit/or whole fruit/ or partial.... is the kind of list I need to find.
Thanks for all your hard work in any case!
Joan says
Thanks for this list! This is so handy. I was looking to make some keto friendly cocktails and now I can figure out how many carbs are in some of the juices I was going to try.
Liana Ekawati says
Wow I did not realise many fruits are high in carbs. Thank you for sharing this.
Lisa says
Thanks for the list, but it would be easier to use it it was arranged in some kind of order rather than randomly. Alphabetically, or by groups (berries, juices, melons, etc.) 🙂
Tasha Metcalf says
Thanks for the feedback! They are listed from lowest to highest net carbs, but you can search and sort the list with the arrows at the top to change the way it is organized (A to Z, Z to A, total carbs, etc). Hope that helps!
Healthybull says
Wow amazing article, i am gain many knowledge with the help of your article. Thank you..
Amanda says
Just wondering if there is a printable version for this list?
