Oregano Powder 1kg

 Mexican oregano comes from a plant that’s native to Mexico and Central America. It’s used in Mexican and Latin cooking to add a bright astringency that counters the rich flavors of meats and beans. Use this ground oregano to add an authentic flavor to chili, moles, bean dishes, and braised meats.

TASTE:

Oregano is generally described as possessing a strongly aromatic, camphoraceous aroma and a slightly bitter, pungent flavor. This pungent flavor is composed of earthy/musty, green, hay and minty notes. The spice imparts a slightly astringent mouthfeel.

USES:

While cooking, sprinkle meat, chicken with oregano for flavor.

Use it in marinades or stuffings.

Chop and mix into bread or pizza dough for a herby flavor.

Add fresh oregano leaves to a salad.

Sprinkle onto slices of mozzarella cheese and tomato, and drizzle with olive oil.
