Parsley, dried

Dried parsley is a herb made by removing most of the water from parsley leaves. It provides carbohydrate and protein, alongside vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, dried parsley contains 15g of carbohydrate, 16g of protein, 1080mg of calcium and 42mg of iron. These figures refer to the dried herb rather than fresh parsley.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body. Dried herbs are generally used in small amounts, so their contribution to nutrient intake depends on how much is eaten. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
