Mint, fresh

Fresh mint is a leafy herb used to flavour foods and drinks. The figures here describe mint in its fresh form. It consists mainly of water and provides carbohydrate, protein, vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 5.3g of carbohydrate, 3.8g of protein, 31mg of vitamin C and 9.5mg of iron.

Vitamin C supports normal wound healing and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Mint is usually eaten in small amounts, so its contribution to nutrient intake depends on the quantity used. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
