The taste of oregano whole

Oregano whole is spicy and slightly sweet at the same time. Its strong smell is reminiscent of thyme. Although the herb is also called 'wild marjoram', real marjoram has a softer taste. Nevertheless, the two are often confused. The small leaves of the oregano plant are almost indispensable in today's cuisine. Oregano whole forms a delicious combination with herbs such as basil, thyme and sage. The herb is used in many international kitchens. The dried and ground oregano whole, which you can order online here, has a stronger aroma than the fresh leaves.

To which dishes do you add oregano whole?

Oregano whole can be added to both hot and cold dishes. When preparing a hot dish, add the herb at the beginning of the cooking process. The longer it is heated, the better it can release its flavour. Popular dishes in which oregano whole is used include chilli con carne and pasta with a tomato-based sauce. It also tastes delicious in oven dishes and dishes with chicken. Or you can sprinkle it over the pizza. In addition, you can add the seasoning to cold dishes or snacks such as salads, goat's cheese and feta cheese. Especially when oregano whole is accompanied by a good olive oil from cold pressing, the taste will be perfect.

Is oregano very healthy?

The unambiguous answer is yes. Oregano whole is known for its high concentration of antioxidants. Only cinnamon comes first in this respect. The herb supports digestion and is proven effective in reducing gastrointestinal complaints. However, be somewhat sparing when adding oregano whole to your dishes. Oregano whole can quickly become dominant because of its strong flavour.
