Every herb and spice broken down by realistic use, with the salt in seasoning blends and rubs made clear.
Herbs and spices used alone contribute almost nothing nutritionally, which is the point of them. The exception is blended seasonings, where salt is frequently the first ingredient.
A teaspoon of dried oregano or cumin adds a negligible amount of anything. Comparing them on calories is not a useful exercise.
Seasoning blends, rubs and stock powders are a different product. Many are predominantly salt, and a tablespoon can carry a substantial share of a daily limit.
Building flavour with spice, acid and aromatics is the practical route to reducing salt in home cooking without losing anything.
For children specifically, this matters more than for adults, since the daily salt limit for a 4 to 6 year old is 3g and for a 1 to 3 year old just 2g.
Each product page includes a full nutrition breakdown per serving and per pack, portion size comparisons, age-adjusted NHS daily reference intake calculations for children aged 4 to 17, an interactive calculator for your child's specific age and gender, and a complete ingredient and allergen guide.
