Sage, fresh

Fresh sage is a leafy herb used to flavour food. The figures here describe fresh sage rather than dried sage. It provides carbohydrate, fat and protein, as well as minerals and vitamin A. Per 100g, it contains 16g of carbohydrate, 4.6g of fat, 3.9g of protein and 600mg of calcium.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Sage also contains magnesium, which contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Herbs are generally used in small amounts, so their contribution to nutrient intake depends on how much is eaten. The figures per 100g are useful for comparison but do not represent a typical serving of fresh sage. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
