Fruits low in net carbs
91 USDA records of fruits have 5 g of net carbs or less per portion (no FDA definition; the threshold used in keto food lists). The lowest, avocados, raw, all commercial varieties, has 0.9 g in 1 serving. USDA files avocados with fruits, as botany does, though they are eaten as savory foods.

Per 100 g, the list starts elsewhere
The portion ranking compares everyday foods at the portion FDA's reference amounts describe (USDA's NLEA serving where it lists one). Seasonings, sauces, powders, dried and concentrated forms, raw meat and fish, uncooked grains and dry beans, restaurant items and foods without a household measure near that portion are ranked per 100 g only: nobody eats a cup of dried thyme. Per 100 g, these lead:
| Food | Net carbs (carbohydrate minus fiber) per 100 g | In the portion ranking |
|---|---|---|
| Olives, pickled, canned or bottled, green | 0.5 g | not an everyday portion (rule above) |
| Olives, green, Manzanilla, stuffed with pimiento | 1.0 g | not an everyday portion (rule above) |
| Avocados, raw, all commercial varieties | 1.8 g | ranked 1 |
| Rhubarb, raw | 2.7 g | ranked 2 |
| Carambola, (starfruit), raw | 3.9 g | ranked 4 |
| Blackberries, raw | 4.3 g | ranked 6 |
| Apricots, canned, water pack, without skin, solids and liquids | 4.4 g | ranked 21 |
| Acerola juice, raw | 4.5 g | not an everyday portion (rule above) |
