Benefits of Oregano

Sue 1Member

Oregano is a very flavorful and aromatic plant native to the Mediterranean region, but now it is grown all over the world.
It is used extensively in Mediterranean cooking, but aside from its use for cooking it has many other benefits.

Oregano has strong antibacterial properties, it is a source of antioxidant vitamins which may prevent many forms of cancer.

Oil of Oregano fortifies the immune system, increases joint and muscle flexibility and improves respiratory health.

Oil should be used in small amounts, and for cooking the dried form is better than fresh oregano.

Enjoy.

Thank you for posting Sue.

I love oregano, it adds a lot of flavour to my vegetable, pasta, and rice dishes. It is also very nice in salad dressings.

I have heard that oregano gives us iron, vitamin C, calcium and manganese.

I love to cook with it.

Love,
Vicky

Thank you Sue.

Oregano is a wonderful herb.
I am using it quite a lot since we have it growing quite abundantly in the garden. I dry it for cooking and even collect quite a bit for the winter.

I have never tried the oil, but will look into it.

Love,
yoko

Thank you Sue.

I love oregano. Like yoko, I have some in my garden, but I need to thin it out quite often because it seems to want to take over everything else.

I dry my own fresh oregano. Dry it by tying the stems together and hanging it in a warm, dry, well-ventilated place. I store my homemade dry oregano in a paper bag in a dark place, and crumble the leaves off the branches as I need them. Storing the whole branches helps keep the volatile oils intact.

Thank you Sue.

I love Oregano. The oil is very good, I put the smallest amount into my salad dressing. The dried leaves are very nice in many dishes.

Sincerely,
Gisele

Oregano is an important culinary herb, used for the flavor of its leaves, which can be more flavorful when dried than fresh. It has a warm and slightly bitter taste, which can vary in intensity. Its oil has health benefits and medicinal qualities.
