Oregano is a dried herb from the mint family, widely used as a seasoning in Mediterranean, Mexican and Middle Eastern cooking. It appears most often in small pinches or teaspoons rather than in meaningful gram quantities, so the per-100g figures reflect a concentrated dried form rather than a typical serving. Per 100 g, dried oregano provides 265 kcal, 9 g of protein, 4.3 g of fat, 69 g of carbohydrates and a notably high 42.5 g of dietary fibre. The mineral content is striking at this scale: 1,597 mg of calcium, 1,260 mg of potassium and 270 mg of magnesium per 100 g, alongside 621.7 mcg of vitamin K. No glycemic index is available for oregano. It is compatible with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, paleo, Mediterranean and low-FODMAP dietary patterns.
How many calories in oregano?
Dried oregano contains 265 kcal per 100 g. In practice, a typical pinch or teaspoon used in cooking weighs around 1–3 g, contributing fewer than 10 kcal to a dish.
How much calcium is in oregano?
Dried oregano contains 1,597 mg of calcium per 100 g, which is exceptionally high by weight. Because oregano is used in very small amounts — usually 1–3 g per dish — the actual calcium delivered to a meal is modest.
Is oregano keto-friendly?
Yes, oregano is listed as keto-compatible. While it shows 69 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, the realistic serving size of 1–3 g means the net carbohydrate contribution per use is negligible.
