Herbs & Spices: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Herbs and spices add flavor and aroma to meals. This category includes dried herbs like oregano and basil, ground spices such as turmeric and cayenne pepper, and various seasoning blends. These products can enhance dishes without adding extra calories or unhealthy fats. When choosing herbs and spices, especially blends, it's helpful to check the Nutrition Facts label. Some seasoning mixes can contain significant amounts of sodium. The FDA recommends a Daily Value of 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day for adults. Looking at the ingredient list is also important. For pure herbs and spices, the ingredient list should ideally contain only the herb or spice itself. Some blends might include anti-caking agents, which are generally recognized as safe. Rarely, some seasoning blends may contain added sugars, which the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting. Choosing single herbs and spices or blends with minimal ingredients allows you to control what goes into your food. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
