Basil, fresh

Basil is a leafy herb used to flavour food. The figures here describe fresh basil, rather than dried basil. It provides vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and iron. Per 100g, it contains 660µg of vitamin A (retinol equivalent), 26mg of vitamin C, 250mg of calcium and 5.5mg of iron.

Vitamin A supports normal vision and immune function, while vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Calcium contributes to the maintenance of bones and teeth. Basil is generally eaten in small amounts, so its contribution to nutrient intake is usually much lower than the figures given here. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
