Oregano
Oregano is a herb that comes from the leaves of the oregano plant. It is widely used in cooking to add flavour to dishes, particularly in Mediterranean cuisine. Oregano has a strong, aromatic taste that can be either fresh or dried, depending on how it's used in recipes.
Oregano is typically grown and harvested from the oregano plant. The leaves are then dried and crushed to create the dried oregano flakes that are commonly found in spice racks. Oregano can also be used fresh, where the leaves are simply chopped up and added directly to dishes for a more vibrant flavour.
Oregano appears on food labels because it adds a distinctive flavour to many dishes. It is commonly used in pizzas, pasta sauces, salad dressings, and marinades. Oregano provides a slightly peppery and slightly sweet taste, enhancing the overall flavour profile of the food it is added to. It is a versatile herb that can be used in both cooked and fresh dishes to add a delicious Mediterranean twist.
