Keto South American foods
Keto South American foods: savoring low-carb delights from the southern continent[edit]
South America, with its rich and diverse culinary heritage, offers a plethora of dishes influenced by indigenous, African, and European traditions. While many traditional south American dishes are carb-heavy due to their reliance on ingredients like rice, maize, and potatoes, there are several dishes that are inherently keto-friendly, and others can be adapted to fit the ketogenic diet:
Argentina and Uruguay[edit]
A traditional barbecue style, where various cuts of meats (often including ribs, sausages, and steaks) are grilled on a parrilla. Inherently keto-friendly.
A green sauce made of finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, and red wine vinegar. Perfect as a topping for grilled meats.
Brazil[edit]
A prime cut of beef that is salted and grilled. It's a favorite in brazilian barbecues and is keto-friendly.
Traditional coxinhas are chicken croquettes made with a dough of wheat and chicken broth. For a keto version, use almond flour or coconut flour for the dough.
Chile[edit]
A chilean condiment made of coriander, chopped onion, olive oil, garlic, and aji pepper. Can be paired with grilled meats.
A hearty eel soup, minus the potatoes to make it keto-friendly.
Peru[edit]
Fresh fish or seafood cured in freshly squeezed citrus juices, mixed with diced tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. Naturally low in carbs and keto-friendly.
Grilled skewers of beef heart marinated in vinegar, cumin, aji pepper, and garlic. Perfect for keto diets.
Colombia and Venezuela[edit]
A type of bread made from maize dough. For a keto version, make arepas using almond or coconut flour.
Fried pork belly or pork rinds. Inherently keto-friendly and a popular snack.
Bolivia[edit]
A spicy chicken dish traditionally served with potatoes and maize. For a keto version, omit the potatoes and maize but savor the spicy chicken.
