What it is
Oregano is a perennial herb in the mint family, native to the Mediterranean region. The leaves are typically dried for use as a spice. Drying concentrates the flavor and extends its shelf life.
Why it's used
Dehydrated oregano is primarily used to add a distinct, pungent, and slightly bitter flavor to foods. It is a common ingredient in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, found in tomato sauces, salad dressings, marinades, and seasoning blends.
Health notes
Oregano is generally recognized by the FDA as safe (GRAS) when used as a food ingredient. It contains various compounds, including antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated oregano and its extracts. Evidence on specific health benefits or risks from typical dietary intake is limited and requires more research.
Allergen info
Oregano is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
