🌿 Dried Marjoram (Origanum majorana)

📝 General Description

Marjoram (Origanum majorana) is a fragrant, sweet-tasting herb from the mint family, native to the Mediterranean region. Dried marjoram is produced by gently drying the leaves to preserve their delicate aroma and flavor, which is warm, slightly citrusy, and similar to oregano but milder. It is widely used in culinary applications and herbal medicine for its soothing, digestive, and anti-inflammatory properties.
