This grocery list of low-carb vegetables is a great start to understand the basics of the keto diet or for when you're sick of eating kale every day. Let's stock up!

They are super rich in iron and potassium and keto-approved.

Toss them on a sheet pan with some chicken, and make fajitas. 6 / 12 7 Mushrooms Image Source: Unsplash / Jenn Kosar Although technically they not a vegetable, mushrooms give a nice umami taste to your dish and are a lot higher in protein content than other vegetables. If you find keto food bland, add some mushrooms to the mix. 7 / 12 8 Cucumbers Image Source: Unsplash / Harshal S. Hirve This vegetable is great at making sure you stay hydrated, and it adds tons of volume to foods without many calories. Next time you want to elevate your meal, try a salad with cucumbers. 8 / 12 9 Tomatoes Image Source: Flickr user Sophie Tomatoes not only reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer (because of their high levels of lycopene), but also taste amazing in keto recipes like pico de gallo or Shakshuka. 9 / 12 10 Asparagus Image Source: Flickr user Liz West High in fibre and an array of vitamins and folate, asparagus is the perfect keto vegetable for manageing blood glucose levels. 10 / 12 11 Brussels Sprouts Image Source: Flickr user Charles Smith Although an acquired taste, these bitter veggies are a powerhouse of health benefits and taste so good when roasted with some turkey bacon. 11 / 12 12 Green Beans Image Source: Flickr user Mohammed Mahdi Another green vegetable high in fibre, green beans are a perfect addition to a stir-fry to keep you fuller for longer.
