Dried oregano

Dried oregano is a spice made from the leaves of the oregano plant. It is a popular herb used in cooking to add flavour to dishes. Oregano is widely known for its strong, slightly bitter taste that complements many dishes, especially in Mediterranean and Italian cuisines.

To make dried oregano, the leaves of the oregano plant are harvested and dried. The drying process helps to intensify the herb's flavour and aroma. Once dried, the leaves are usually crushed or crumbled into smaller pieces, making it easier to sprinkle into dishes during cooking.

Dried oregano appears on food labels as an ingredient to enhance the flavour of various dishes. It is commonly found in pasta sauces, pizza, salad dressings, and marinades. Oregano adds a herbaceous and slightly peppery taste to foods, bringing a unique and aromatic dimension to the overall taste profile.
