Why These Paleo Keto Buns Are a Must-Try
Each bun contains just 9g net carbs and packs in fiber from psyllium and flax — two ingredients shown to support digestion and improve satiety. In fact, research on psyllium fiber confirms its ability to help lower cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar levels, making it an excellent ingredient for keto and paleo diets alike.
