Density 98 · +5 vs Spices & herbs medianDried thyme scores 98 of 100, ranking 9th of 60 in Spices & herbs, with iron at a remarkable 689% DV, calcium at 145% DV, fiber at 132% DV, and vitamin C at 56% DV per 100 grams.
A teaspoon of dried leaves flavors soups, roasts, and marinades, so its real contribution to any single meal is a small fraction of the 100 gram figures above. At 276 calories per 100 grams it appears calorie dense, but as with most dried herbs, the amount used per dish keeps its practical energy and nutrient contribution modest.
