Coriander leaves, fresh

Fresh coriander leaves are the leafy parts of the coriander plant, used as a herb in food. They provide fibre and several vitamins, including vitamins A, C and K. Per 100g, they contain 2.8g of fibre, 675µg of vitamin A (retinol equivalent), 27mg of vitamin C and 310µg of vitamin K1.

Vitamin A supports normal vision and immune function, while vitamin C is needed for collagen formation and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Vitamin K is needed for normal blood clotting. Coriander leaves are usually eaten in small amounts, so their contribution depends on the quantity used. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
