Spices and Herbs
Spices and herbs are used in small quantities but contribute meaningful micronutrients and bioactive compounds relative to their serving size. Many spices are concentrated sources of iron, manganese, and antioxidants. While their caloric contribution to meals is negligible, they can replace calorie-dense sauces and dressings for flavor.
Key Nutrients
- Concentrated sources of iron and manganese (per weight, though typical servings are small)
- High in polyphenols and other bioactive compounds
- Many dried herbs provide notable vitamin K per tablespoon
Tips
- Use spices and herbs liberally to add flavor without adding significant calories, fat, or sodium.
- Dried spices are more nutrient-dense by weight than fresh herbs, but fresh herbs contribute more vitamin C.
- Turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger are among the most-studied spices for their bioactive compound content.
