Caraway seeds

Caraway seeds are the small, seed-like fruits of the caraway plant, used as a spice to flavour food. The nutritional information here describes the seeds and is drawn from literature sources. They provide protein, fat and minerals, including calcium and iron. Per 100g, they contain 20g of protein, 15g of fat, 950mg of calcium and 32mg of iron.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Caraway seeds are generally used in small amounts, so their contribution depends on the quantity eaten. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
