Mixed curry spices

Mixed curry spices are a blend of equal quantities of curry powder, garam masala, paprika and chilli powder. The figures describe the spice mixture itself, rather than a prepared curry dish. Per 100g, it provides 13g of fat, 13g of protein, 32mg of iron and 2.9g of salt. It also contains vitamin A and a range of other minerals.

Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, while vitamin A supports normal vision and immune function. Spices are generally used in small amounts, so their contribution to nutrient and salt intake depends on how much is added and how a dish is shared. The salt content is worth noting when comparing ingredients. Full figures are in the tables below.
