Spices: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers dried herbs and spices, which are used to add flavour and aroma to food. They can be found as whole seeds, dried leaves, or ground powders. Many spices are also used in spice blends, such as curry powders or mixed herbs. When choosing spice blends, it's helpful to check the ingredient list for added salt or sugars. While spices themselves are typically low in these, some blends may contain them. The NHS Eatwell Guide recommends limiting salt intake to no more than 6g per day for adults. Looking at the ingredients list, you can see what has been added. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so those listed first make up the largest proportion of the product. For spice blends, it's generally preferable to see herbs and spices listed first, with salt and sugars appearing lower down or not at all. Spices are a good way to add flavour to meals without relying on salt or sugar. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
