Oregano (1 oz)

Flavor
Oregano brings a bold, earthy flavor with a warm, slightly peppery bite and subtle minty notes. It’s more robust than many herbs, which means a little goes a long way. Fresh oregano is brighter and more complex than dried, adding depth without overpowering when used thoughtfully.

Nutritional Benefits
This small-leaf herb is packed with goodness:

• Rich in antioxidants that help protect cells from damage
• Contains vitamins K, A, and C
• Provides small amounts of iron, calcium, and fiber
• Traditionally valued for its natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties

How to Use It
Oregano is a staple in Mediterranean and Latin cuisines and pairs beautifully with a wide range of foods:

• Sauces & Soups: Add to tomato sauces, stews, or bean dishes
• Roasted Vegetables: Toss with potatoes, carrots, or squash before roasting
• Meats & Marinades: Perfect with chicken, lamb, or beef—mix with olive oil, garlic, and lemon
• Fresh Finishing Herb: Chop and sprinkle over pizzas, eggs, or salads for a burst of flavor
• Herb Blends: Combine with thyme, basil, and rosemary for a classic seasoning mix

Cooking Tips

• Add early in cooking for a deeper, infused flavor—or at the end for a fresher, brighter note
• Strip leaves from the stem before using (stems can be tough)
• Store like a bouquet in a glass of water in the fridge, or wrap in a damp towel
