Keto Approved
Green Onion
1.10g net carbs per 1/4 cup
Green onions bring just 1.1 g net carbs per quarter-cup, so a handful of sliced tops scattered over eggs or a salad barely moves your daily total. Use them fresh for sharpness or sauteed for a milder bite, and lean on the green parts since they stay light on carbs.

Good to Know
Pick bunches with firm white bulbs and crisp green tops, skipping any that look slimy or yellowed at the tips. The white parts carry a slightly stronger bite, so save them for cooking and use the milder green tops raw. Pre-chopped frozen scallions work in a pinch, though fresh holds its snap much better and there is nothing added beyond the onion itself.
Is Green Onion Keto? The Full Answer
Green Onion contains 1.10g net carbs per 1/4 cup (1.80g total carbs minus 0.70g fiber). Green onions bring just 1.1 g net carbs per quarter-cup, so a handful of sliced tops scattered over eggs or a salad barely moves your daily total. Use them fresh for sharpness or sauteed for a milder bite, and lean on the green parts since they stay light on carbs.
On a standard ketogenic diet, most people target 20-25g net carbs per day. A single serving uses 6% of a 20g daily carb limit. That makes Green Onion a reliable keto staple.
