Dried Mexican oregano is a fragrant herb native to Mexico and Central America, commonly used in Latin American, Tex-Mex, and Southwestern cuisines. It comes from a plant different than Mediterranean oregano, offering a more robust, earthy flavor with citrus and subtle licorice undertones. Packed with antioxidants, Mexican oregano has compounds like thymol and carvacrol that support immune health. It's also a good source of vitamins A and C, along with calcium and iron. While low in calories, it provides strong aromatic properties that enhance flavor without relying on added salt or fat. Used in dishes like chili, enchiladas, and marinades, it's a staple for adding depth to savory recipes. However, dried herbs should be consumed in moderation as concentrated amounts may interfere with medication or cause irritation in sensitive individuals. Overall, Mexican oregano is a healthy addition to spice blends and recipes when used wisely.
