Salak or snake fruit is a tropical fruit native to Indonesia. However, it is available in our country too these days. Here's why you should add it to your low-carb diet.
It has only about 15 gms of carbs per 100 gms. It's low compared to fruits like grapes and bananas.
Though low in carbs, the fruit is high in dietary fibre, which is important for digestive health and makes you feel full.
Vitamin C, potassium and iron are some of the essential vitamins in this nutrient-dense fruit.
Its natural sugar content is moderate compared to other high-in-sugar fruits.
Foods with high water content are generally low in calorie density and promote satiety. While a low-carb diet can sometimes lead to dehydration, salak can help you avoid this.
