Mint is a aromatic herb used raw or briefly cooked as a flavouring in a wide range of cuisines — from Middle Eastern tabbouleh and South Asian chutneys to European sauces and cocktails. Because it is used in small quantities as a garnish or seasoning, per-100g figures reflect the herb's nutritional density rather than a typical serving. Per 100 g, raw mint provides 54 kcal, 3.5 g of protein, 0.8 g of fat, 5.3 g of carbohydrates and a notable 7.2 g of dietary fibre. It contains 380 mg of potassium, 210 mg of calcium and 71.5 mg of magnesium per 100 g, alongside 740 mcg of vitamin A, 110 mcg of folate and 26 mg of vitamin C. Mint is compatible with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, paleo, Mediterranean and low-FODMAP dietary patterns.
How many calories in mint?
Raw mint contains 54 kcal per 100 g. In practice, a typical garnish or recipe portion is just a few grams, so the caloric contribution to a dish is negligible.
How much vitamin A is in mint?
Mint provides 740 mcg of vitamin A per 100 g, which is a notably high figure for a herb. Even a small handful used in cooking contributes a meaningful amount relative to its weight.
Is mint keto-friendly?
Yes, mint is listed as keto-compatible. It contains only 5.3 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, and since typical serving sizes are very small, its net carb contribution to a meal is minimal.
