Mexican Oregano

Mexican Oregano is a concentrated, aromatic dried herb widely used in Mediterranean and Mexican cuisines to season tomato sauces, grilled meats, vegetables and soups. It delivers intense savory, slightly bitter and peppery flavor so only small amounts are needed. Nutritionally, dried oregano is nutrient-dense for an herb — it is a good source of fiber and minerals and particularly high in vitamin K (622µg per 100g), reflecting its role as a micronutrient-rich seasoning rather than a bulk food. Because herbs like oregano are concentrated sources of micronutrients and plant compounds, they contribute antioxidants (polyphenols) and fiber to dishes while adding flavor without many calories when used in typical amounts.
