Thyme, fresh

Thyme is a herb whose leaves are used to flavour food. The figures here describe fresh thyme, rather than dried thyme. It mainly provides carbohydrate and fibre, along with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, fresh thyme contains 15g of carbohydrate, 12g of fibre, 630mg of calcium and 17mg of vitamin C.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while calcium is needed for the maintenance of bones and teeth and for normal muscle function. Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Herbs are generally used in small amounts, so the nutrients supplied by thyme in a meal will be lower than the amounts shown per 100g. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
