Oregano, fresh

Oregano is a leafy herb used to flavour food. The figures here describe fresh oregano rather than dried oregano. It provides fibre, vitamins and minerals, including 8.6g of fibre, 45mg of vitamin C, 323mg of calcium and 7.4mg of iron per 100g.

Fibre helps support normal bowel function, while vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Calcium is needed for normal bones and teeth, and iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Herbs are generally eaten in small amounts, so their contribution depends on how much is used. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
