Mixed herbs, dried

Mixed dried herbs are a blend of dried leaves used to season food. The mixture described here contains equal quantities of marjoram, parsley, sage and thyme. It provides carbohydrate, protein and fat, as well as minerals. Per 100g, it contains 36g of carbohydrate, 12g of protein, 8.5g of fat and 1653mg of calcium.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Dried herbs are generally used in small amounts, so the nutrients supplied in cooking will be much less than the amounts shown per 100g. Herbs can add flavour without adding salt. Full nutrient figures for this mixture are provided in the tables below.
