Mulberries contain approximately 8g net carbs per 100g. Among the lowest-carb fruits, but still fruit. Small portions (1/4 cup or ~30g) provide only 2g net carbs and fit keto with strict portion control.
Strict keto practitioners avoid all fruits including mulberries due to sugar content and potential metabolic disruption, while flexible keto followers include small measured portions as occasional treats.
