Spearmint, dried

Nutrition Facts & Diabetes Guide

With 20g of protein per 100g, Spearmint contributes meaningful protein to the plate — protein also helps slow the glucose rise when paired with carbohydrate. Fiber runs 30g per 100g, which can blunt post-meal glucose spikes by slowing digestion. Glycemic index data is not available for spearmint from the Sydney University GI Tables (Atkinson et al., 2021), so this page focuses on the measured USDA nutrition profile instead of a GL verdict.
