About Oregano
Oregano is a fragrant herb commonly used in Mediterranean, Italian, and Mexican cuisines, prized for its robust and slightly peppery flavor. Native to the Mediterranean region, oregano is packed with essential nutrients and bioactive compounds. It contains vitamins A, C, E, and K, along with minerals like iron, calcium, and manganese. This herb is also a rich source of antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, which may help combat oxidative stress in the body. Oregano has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, and its active compound, carvacrol, has been studied for potential health benefits. As a low-calorie herb, it adds flavor to dishes without the need for heavy fats or excess salt. While typically consumed in small quantities, oregano can elevate the nutritional profile of meals. Dried or fresh, this versatile herb complements meats, vegetables, and sauces, making it both a culinary and healthful staple.
