Description

Marjoram (Origanum majorana) is a culinary herb in the mint family, often compared to its close relative, oregano. While both offer a distinctive flavor profile, marjoram boasts a sweeter, more subtle aroma and taste, making it a popular choice for various dishes.

Marjoram shines in savory dishes, particularly those featuring sausage, poultry, lamb, vegetables, and stews. Its sweet and slightly piney flavor complements tomatoes, beans, and lentils beautifully. Marjoram is also a key ingredient in the Middle Eastern spice blend, zaatar.
