Rosemary, dried

Dried rosemary is a herb made from the dried leaves of the rosemary plant, used to flavour food. It provides carbohydrate, fibre and fat, along with minerals including calcium and iron. Per 100g, it contains 46g of carbohydrate, 43g of fibre, 1280mg of calcium and 29mg of iron.

Fibre helps support normal bowel function, while calcium is needed for the maintenance of bones and teeth. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Dried herbs are generally used in small amounts, so their contribution to nutrient intake is much smaller than the figures per 100g suggest. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
