Starwest Botanicals Organic Oregano Leaf Cut and Sifted Description
Oregano's name means "mountain of joy" and it lives up to its moniker. This warm, aromatic, and slightly bitter herb brings joyous and delicious flavor to Italian, Greek, Turkish, and Argentinian cuisines. Oregano contains vitamin K which may help support bone health.
Originally native to the Mediterranean, oregano is now cultivated in gardens worldwide. It is a member of the Lamiaceae (mint) family, and it thrives in warm climates — sunlight brings out its flavor.
Oregano gives an earthy and herbaceous kick to pizza, pasta, seafood, chicken dishes, and all types of sauces.
Uses:
-
Organic Oregano is likely one of the first ingredients that you would think of to put into a lovely tomato-based marinara sauce for use over pasta.
-
A sprinkle of oregano on top of a green salad that contains robust cheese crumbled on top and olives makes the vegetables all come alive on the palate.
-
Fresh ripe summer tomatoes, roasted eggplant rounds and mozzarella are beautiful sliced, then arranged on a platter and sprinkled with extra virgin olive oil, black pepper and some oregano.
-
Beautiful new red or fingerling potatoes coated in olive oil and sprinkled with oregano, black pepper, salt and a little paprika, then put into the oven to roast, make a glorious side dish for your next chicken dinner.
-
You can also consider adding some oregano to your chicken marinade for a pleasing poultry addition.
-
Scrambled eggs or scrambled tofu can be easily livened up with the addition of a little oregano, cumin, and pepper as well as a tiny touch of turmeric, along with grated Colby Jack cheese near the end of the cooking time. This makes a wonderful organic oregano-seasoned filling for corn or flour tortillas, which can be served with guacamole, salsa and sour cream.
