Dried mint is mint leaf with most of its water removed, used as a herb in food preparation. It provides carbohydrate and protein, along with minerals including calcium and potassium. Per 100g, it contains 35g of carbohydrate, 25g of protein, 1370mg of calcium and 1700mg of potassium. These figures describe the dried herb rather than fresh mint.
Calcium contributes to the maintenance of bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Potassium is involved in nerve signalling and muscle function. Dried herbs are generally used in small amounts, so their contribution to nutrient intake depends on the quantity used. The full nutrient figures, including energy, fat and salt, are provided in the tables below.
