Is Baking powder keto?

Baking powder is not typically consumed in large amounts, making the carbohydrate content per serving negligible. However, it is not inherently keto-friendly due to its high carb content. It is important to use it in moderation to avoid any significant impact on a ketogenic diet.

Carbohydrate Impact and Glycemic Index of Baking powder

Baking powder's use in small quantities means its effect on blood sugar levels is minimal. Despite its relatively high carbohydrate content, it's typically not consumed in amounts that would significantly impact the glycemic index or load. Hence, it can be considered low impact in small amounts used for baking purposes.
