Sage, dried, ground

Sage is a culinary herb; the form described here is dried and ground. It provides carbohydrate, fat and protein, as well as minerals including calcium, iron and magnesium. Per 100g, dried ground sage contains 43g of carbohydrate, 13g of fat, 11g of protein and 1650mg of calcium.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle and nerve function. Dried sage is generally used in small amounts as a seasoning, so the nutrients supplied in cooking will be much lower than the amounts shown per 100g. Its contribution to overall nutrient intake depends on the amount used. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
