Density 97 · +4 vs Spices & herbs medianDried chervil earns a 97 of 100 Nutrient Density Score, an Elite rating that places it 18th of 60 in the Spices & herbs category. The standout figures are iron at 178% DV and calcium at 104% DV, backed by potassium at 101% DV and vitamin C at 56% DV, all measured per 100 grams of the dried herb.
Chervil is a delicate, anise-scented herb used the way parsley or tarragon are, stirred into sauces, omelets, and soups near the end of cooking so its flavor survives. A typical dose is a teaspoon, about a gram, so while the dried herb's numbers look striking, the actual amount landing in a dish is small; sugar content for this food was not reported in the data.
