Oregano

---

Oregano is a very important herb.

It could be used both as culinary and medicinal herb.

Oregano, scientifically known as Origanum vulgare, is richly found in the Mediterranean region and survives in a hot, but not too wet climate.

In Ancient Greek and Roman societies, Oregano was considered a source of joy, thus comes the name oros (mountain) and ganos joy).

The plant belongs to the mint family, known as Labiatae.

The dried leaves of Oregano is widely used in Greek and Italian cuisines as it has an aromatic, warm, and slightly bitter taste.
