Low Carb Vegetables
Quick answer
Kale comes first with 0.32 g per 100 g. 77 foods in the CalorTracker database qualify, ranked lowest first.
Vegetables ranked by net carbs per 100 g, fewest first. Net carbs are total carbohydrate minus fiber, the figure low-carb plans usually count. 77 vegetables are ranked, from Kale at 0.32 g per 100 g up to Sun-Dried Tomatoes at 43.5 g per 100 g.
Leafy and watery vegetables sit near the top and starchy ones such as potatoes, corn and sweet potato sit near the bottom, where only foods holding less water, such as garlic, rank below them. Because USDA measures carbohydrate and fiber separately, a few foods come out near zero when the two figures almost cancel; the row's own page shows both.

How this list is calculated
Foods are ranked by net carbs per 100 g, lowest first. Every value is computed from the USDA FoodData Central record behind each food's page, which CalorTracker stores per 100 g. Nothing is estimated or rounded before ranking, and foods with equal values are ordered by name.
Net carbs are total carbohydrate minus fiber, never below zero. USDA measures the two separately, so for a few foods the difference comes out close to zero. A food USDA reports no fiber or no carbohydrate for is left out.
This list draws on the vegetables in the CalorTracker food database (77 foods). Every food with a measured value qualifies. A food USDA has no measurement for is left out, never counted as zero.
77 foods qualify, and the table shows all of them.
Every number comes from USDA FoodData Central, the US government's food composition database, through the food pages linked in the table. The same method is written out on how we calculate, and our sources are listed on sources.
