What it is

Marjoram is an herb in the mint family, related to oregano. It has a milder, sweeter, and more floral flavor than oregano. It is native to the Mediterranean region and southern Europe but is now grown worldwide.

Why it's used

Marjoram is primarily used as a flavoring agent in foods. Its warm, slightly peppery taste complements a variety of dishes, including soups, stews, sauces, poultry, and vegetable dishes. It is often found in spice blends and dried herb mixes.

Health notes

Marjoram is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. It is not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated marjoram and other herbs and spices, but no specific numeric limits are usually set for such ingredients when used for flavoring.

Allergen info

Marjoram is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
