Carbohydrate content of ground Kava?

[Jonathan]

So, I realize this may be kind of finicky, but I'm wondering if anyone has stats on the carbohydrate content of ground Kava, or knows of a way to assay it? I'm on a low-carb diet, and while I don't think Kava is going to throw me over my daily limit (depending on how much I have, lol), I'm curious nonetheless...

Trace amounts. You probably aren't very friendly to white potatoes on your diet. Imagine if you beat the crap out of a piece of a potato and strained it. You know what? I just invented non-kavaholic grog.

What you get is mostly fiber anyway. I wouldn't worry too much. It's never kicked me out of ketosis and I rarely strain it fully

You're fine.

Hey thanks guys! Blindy, I do the keto diet as well, so thanks for that input. And kavadude, much thanks for the link. I'll check that thread out right now. Sorry for cross-posting without searching first!

Probably because you are an ape, and would have eaten all the bananas?

 

[simonsezso37]

Hey now, we don't all like bananas. But unfortunately I am one of the ones that do, so yeah, I probably would have @verticity

Damn dirty apes.

Damn you! God damn you all to hell!
