How much carbs does the keto bread contain?

Each slice contains almost 2 grams of carbs. For comparison, a similar slice of regular bread may contain somewhere between 14 to 20 grams of carbs.
Is it gluten free?
YES: The keto bread is 100% gluten-free. In general, the sesame tahini if gluten-free but sometimes gluten can be added a thickener to the sauce. Check all store-bought brands for gluten just to be sure.
How to Store the bread
You can slice the bread and store it in plastic containers and put it in the fridge. Or you can put the bread in a paper bag and leave it outside of the fridge.
