Herb Of The Week

Friday, 16 November 2018



This week’s spotlight herb is Oregano, a bold, aromatic staple in Mediterranean and Mexican cooking. Known for its slightly peppery, earthy flavor with a hint of bitterness, oregano adds depth to everything from pizza sauce and marinades to grilled meats and stews. Beyond its culinary versatility, oregano is rich in antioxidants and offers antimicrobial properties, making it a powerhouse in both the kitchen and natural wellness circles. Whether you use it fresh or dried, oregano is a must-have herb that transforms simple dishes into savory delights. Good-quality oregano may be strong enough almost to numb the tongue, but cultivars adapted to colder climates may have a lesser flavor. Often referred to as the “pizza herb,” oregano is far more versatile than its nickname suggests. With its earthy, slightly bitter, and robust taste, oregano adds depth to dishes and offers a range of health benefits that earn it a well-deserved spot in your pantry and herb garden.
