What it is

Marjoram is an herb in the mint family, native to the Mediterranean region and southwestern Asia. It has a milder, sweeter flavor than oregano. It is typically sold dried, either as whole leaves or ground.

Why it's used

Marjoram is used to add a savory, slightly floral flavor to foods. It is commonly found in seasoning mixes, marinades, and processed meats like sausages and bacon. It is also used in salad dressings and sauces.

Health notes

Marjoram is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food flavoring. It contains various compounds that may have antioxidant properties. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated marjoram extracts, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with its use as a spice in typical food amounts.
