                                According to nutrition data, a typical serving of fresh basil contains negligible amounts of fat and protein, with carbohydrates making up most of its minimal caloric content. This means that while basil contains all three macronutrients, its overall nutritional contribution is primarily derived from carbohydrates, particularly fiber, given the small quantities typically consumed.
