Bay leaf, dried

Bay leaf is an aromatic leaf used as a herb in cooking. These figures describe dried bay leaf. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with smaller amounts of fat and protein, and also contains minerals. Per 100g, dried bay leaf contains 49g of carbohydrate, 8.4g of fat, 7.6g of protein and 830mg of calcium.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. However, bay leaves are usually added to dishes in small amounts for flavour, and whole leaves are generally removed before eating. The amounts of nutrients consumed are therefore much lower than the figures for the dried herb suggest. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (Reviewed 2013. LGC, Fruit and Vegetables, 1989-1990; Polacchi et al. (1982) Food composition tables for the near east; and Leung et al. (1972) Food composition table for use in East Asia). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
