1) Who am I?
Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is an aromatic herb native to the Mediterranean regions, particularly Turkey. This perennial plant from the Lamiaceae family is known for its fragrant leaves, but its small dark pink to purple flowers are also edible. Oregano has an intense and slightly spicy flavor, often more pronounced than its close relative, marjoram. It is rich in vitamin K and has antiseptic properties, making it not only a flavorful spice but also beneficial for health.
2) Culinary use
Oregano is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine and pairs particularly well with tomato-based dishes:
Oregano combines wonderfully with other herbs like basil, thyme, and marjoram, creating a blend of aromas that elevate your everyday dishes.
3) A brief history
Native to the Mediterranean regions, oregano has been used since antiquity for its culinary and medicinal properties. The Egyptians used it for embalming their dead and in religious rituals. The word "oregano" comes from the Greek "origanon," meaning "the one who loves the mountain," referring to the plant's preference for sunny, mountainous areas.
Over time, oregano has conquered kitchens in the Middle East and around the world. Introduced to France in the 13th century, it quickly became an essential herb in Provençal cuisine, often confused with marjoram, which shares similar uses.
