Is crab meat Keto-friendly?

Yes, real crab meat is Keto-friendly because it is low in net carbs and rich in protein. However, imitation crab meat, or surimi, is not Keto-friendly since it is a processed seafood product made from a blend of fish, starches, and other ingredients. Most brands of crab meat contain a significant amount of added sugar, wheat, or corn starch, which are not Keto friendly. As with most foods, it is important to read the labels carefully before purchasing crab meat to avoid consuming unnecessary carbs.

How do I store this Keto crab dip?

To store this hot crab dip, simply transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve. When stored correctly, the dip should last 3-4 days in the refrigerator. It's important to note that the dip may thicken and become slightly separated as it sits; therefore, give it a stir before serving.
