Dried marjoram is a herb used in small amounts to season food. It provides mainly carbohydrate, along with protein, fat and several minerals. Per 100g, it contains 43g of carbohydrate, 13g of protein, 1990mg of calcium and 83mg of iron. These figures describe the dried herb rather than fresh leaves.
Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Although the mineral figures per 100g are substantial, the small amounts of dried marjoram usually used in cooking provide much less. Iron from plant foods is also less readily absorbed than iron from meat. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
