What it is

Oregano powder is made from the dried leaves of the oregano plant (Origanum vulgare), a herb in the mint family. The leaves are harvested, dried, and then ground into a fine powder. It has a strong, pungent, and slightly bitter flavor.

Why it's used

Oregano powder is primarily used as a flavoring agent in a wide variety of savory dishes. It is a common ingredient in Italian, Greek, and Mexican cuisines, adding a distinct herbaceous note to sauces, meats, vegetables, and baked goods like pizza and bread.

Health notes

Oregano powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food flavoring. It is not typically consumed in amounts large enough to have significant health effects. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated oregano and its extracts, but they have not set specific numeric limits for its use as a flavoring in foods.

Allergen info

Oregano powder is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
