Spices do not have nutrition labels. Perhaps it is because we use them in such small quantities. Still, I wonder about sweet spices, such as cinnamon. Does it have any calories, or is it really a calorie-free (or negative-calorie?) food?
What’s the story on spices and nutritional content?
Well all foods that get used by the body provide energy. I would guess that due to the quantities involved you wind up with calories not Calories (kilo calories).
A gram of Garlic has about 3.3 calories (28/tbsp).
Tarragon weighs in at about 3 calories per gram, as does Marjoram.
Pepper contains about 2.5 calories per gram.
Anise, which is a fairly oily seed, supplies 3.4 calories per gram.
