Betel leaves, fresh

Betel leaves are the leaves of the betel plant, used as a herb. The figures here describe fresh leaves and are drawn from literature sources. Per 100g, they provide 8.6g of carbohydrate, 6.4g of protein, 390mg of calcium and 8.1mg of iron. They contain little fat or salt.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Iron from plant foods is generally absorbed less readily than iron from meat. The amount of each nutrient consumed depends on how much is eaten. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
