What it is
Oregano is a perennial herb in the mint family, native to the Mediterranean region. It is cultivated for its aromatic leaves, which are typically dried for use in cooking. The drying process concentrates its flavor and aroma.
Why it's used
Dried oregano is a popular herb used to add a pungent, earthy flavor to a wide variety of dishes. It is commonly found in Italian, Greek, and Mexican cuisines, and is frequently used in sauces, soups, stews, and meat dishes. Manufacturers use it as a flavoring agent.
Health notes
Oregano is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of antioxidants and has been studied for potential antimicrobial properties. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated oregano and its components, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with its use as a food flavoring at normal consumption levels.
Allergen info
Oregano is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
