Garam masala is a blend of dried, ground spices used to season food. The supplied composition figures are based on literature sources. Per 100g, it provides 45g of carbohydrate, 15g of fat, 16g of protein and 760mg of calcium. Its composition can vary according to the spices included in the blend.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Spices are generally used in small quantities, so their contribution to nutrient intake is much smaller than the amounts shown per 100g. Salt content may also vary between products, particularly if salt has been added. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
