Marjoram Leaves Dried Mediterranean Herb Cut and Sifted 0.5 oz.

Marjoram comes from the Lamiaceae family, and is closely related to basil, oregano and rosemary. A versatile herb, marjoram leaves deliver a potent sweet herb flavor to any dish. The flavor is similar to oregano, but milder, which is why it’s often used a substitute. The leaves are particularly popular in Mediterranean cuisine. You’ll find marjoram – which is sometimes called wild oregano – in many Italian and French herb blends. Providing a sweet and delicate herbaceous flavor, marjoram pairs nicely with roasted meats, in sauces and stews, and as seasoning for German and Polish sausage. The herb is quite delicate, though. It’s best as a finishing spice, which preserves the sweet, flowery flavor of the herb. Marjoram is used in many world cuisines, including European, Middle Eastern and North African cooking. The herb has many uses. It pairs nicely with many different types of herbs and works in everything from pizza sauce to lamb kabob. Dried marjoram leaf provides a lot of great flavor, as they still retain much of their essential oil content. In fact, the herb develops a stronger, more complex flavor during the drying process.
