What is this food?
AI-assisted
Dried tea leaves (tea leaves used for brewing tea).
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Dried tea leaves are mainly used for flavor and drink preparation. Per 100 g, they provide carbohydrates (65.3 g) and dietary fiber (8.3 g), with low fat (1 g) and very low sodium (70 mg). The fiber can support better digestion when tea is part of a balanced diet. The sugar content listed is 5.4 g per 100 g, but in real life you usually use only a small amount of dried leaves per cup, so the actual sugar you get from tea is typically much lower. Since tea is often consumed as a drink, the bigger health impact usually comes from what you add (e.g., sugar, condensed milk) and how often you drink it.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • For daily meals/snacks, treat tea as a drink option—pair it with a balanced snack (e.g., fruit + nuts, or yogurt) instead of sweetened tea.
  • Use less added sugar. If you like it sweet, gradually reduce the amount.
  • Watch portion: a cup of brewed tea uses only a small amount of dried leaves, so focus on your overall daily intake of sugar and calories from additions.
  • If you have sensitivity to caffeine, choose lighter brews or limit late-day intake.
