About Mexican oregano
Mexican oregano, native to Mexico and Central America, is a robust herb derived from the flowering plant *Lippia graveolens*. Its flavor profile is earthy and citrusy with hints of mint and anise, distinguishing it from Mediterranean oregano. Widely used in Mexican, Tex-Mex, and Latin American cuisine, it enhances dishes like salsas, meats, and beans. Mexican oregano is packed with antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and essential minerals like calcium and iron, promoting immune health, strong bones, and antioxidant defense. It also contains compounds like carvacrol and thymol, known for anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. While incredibly healthy in culinary amounts, excessive use isn’t recommended as concentrated forms might irritate sensitive individuals. Low in calories and free from fats, this herb offers flavor and nutritional benefits, making it a staple in wholesome cooking.
