Sage is an aromatic herb used raw or dried as a culinary seasoning, most commonly in small quantities to flavour roasted meats, stuffings, pasta dishes and compound butters. Because it is used in pinches rather than portions, the per-100g figures reflect its concentrated nutrient profile rather than typical intake: 119 kcal, 4 g of protein, 5.9 g of fat, 15.6 g of carbohydrates and a notably high 14.1 g of dietary fibre per 100 g, with very little sugar (0.4 g). Sage is exceptionally rich in vitamin K at 1714.5 mcg per 100 g, and also provides vitamin A (295 mcg), folate (109 mcg), potassium (668 mg), calcium (600 mg) and magnesium (160 mg). No glycemic index is available for sage. It is compatible with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, paleo, Mediterranean and low-FODMAP dietary patterns.
How many calories in sage?
Raw sage contains 119 kcal per 100 g. In practice, a typical pinch or garnish of fresh sage leaves weighs around 2–5 g, contributing fewer than 6 kcal to a dish.
How much vitamin K is in sage?
Sage contains 1714.5 mcg of vitamin K per 100 g, making it one of the most concentrated herb sources of this nutrient. Even a small amount — say 5 g of fresh leaves — delivers around 86 mcg, which is a meaningful quantity relative to typical daily reference values.
Is sage keto-friendly?
Yes, sage is listed as keto-compatible. Although it contains 15.6 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, the vast majority is fibre (14.1 g), leaving very little net carbohydrate, and the herb is used in such small quantities that its carb contribution to a meal is negligible.
