Basil, dried, ground

Dried, ground basil is a herb made from basil leaves that have been dried and milled. It provides carbohydrate, protein and minerals, including calcium and iron. Per 100g, it contains 43g of carbohydrate, 14g of protein, 2110mg of calcium and 42mg of iron. These figures refer to the dried herb rather than fresh basil leaves.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Dried basil is generally used in small amounts as a seasoning, so its contribution to nutrient intake depends on the amount used. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
