10 Low Carb Fruits
Fruit #10: Raspberries
Raspberries have a very low carbohydrate content. In fact, a half cup of raspberries contains 3 grams of net carbohydrates. There is a difference between total carbohydrates and net carbohydrates. In calculating net carbs, many people will take the total number of carbohydrates from the product and subtract fiber amount. This is because fiber is not absorbed by the body, thus has little effect on blood sugar. Many fruits and vegetables will specify net carbs as they tend to be high in fiber.
Raspberries are a prime example of that difference. The total carbohydrate amount of a ½ cup of raspberries is 7 grams. However, 4 grams of those carbohydrates are from fiber.
