Keto vegetables come from above-ground, leafy, and cruciferous families — these naturally run 1-5g net carbs per 100g and form the bulk of any keto plate. Below the ground (root vegetables, tubers) is where the carbs hide: a single potato has 15g net carbs, sweet potato 17g, corn 19g, peas 9g, and even carrots in bulk add up. This page lists 20 keto-safe vegetables ranked by net carbs-per-100g and flags the 5 starchy vegetables to limit or skip, plus the 3 nightshade-family vegetables (peppers, eggplant, tomatoes) that often trigger the wrong online debate about inflammation but are actually fine on keto. The "is sweet potato keto" question is the most-asked: sweet potato has 17g net carbs per 100g and a single medium sweet potato (~150g) lands at 24-26g net carbs — well above the entire 20g-daily keto carb budget on its own — while a single medium potato has 30-35g net carbs, so both belong in the 5-vegetable limit list rather than the everyday-list.
