Different prepared tomato varieties

Tomatoes are sold in a variety of formats from on the vine to in a can. Each one has a use and the carb count can vary between them. Let’s take a look at some of the most commonly prepared tomato methods, along with what carb count you should aim for.

Canned chopped tomatoes

As the name suggests, it’s just tomatoes that are picked at their ripest, chopped and then canned in their own juice. However, be careful! Many manufacturers tend to add preservatives as well as extra flavourings like sugar and other carb-laden ingredients. You’ll need to check the nutrition label to see if they added anything.

The other popular canned variety is the plum tomato. Plum tomatoes are known for being fleshier than their round cousins (used in chopped tomatoes) and have less watery seeds. Similar to chopped tomatoes, the carb count should be the same so long as no extra ingredients have been added (besides from citric acid).

Luckily there are actually some brands that do little to zero sugar varieties. Check out our guide here for the best low carb ketchups.

Conclusion

Tomatoes in most forms are safe for keto so long as you limit your intake and avoid any extra added hidden ingredients like sugar. Remember to always check the nutrition label! And while you’re at it check out the store own branded versions as they are often cheaper and some contain no extra ingredients. Aldi and Lidl are pretty good for that.
