McCormick Gourmet Oregano Leaves

• 100% organic.
• Robust oregano adds bold herbal flavor to Italian and Greek favorites like pizza, soups, and salad dressings.

Also known as "Wild Marjoram", oregano is the leaf of the plant Origanum, a member of the mint family. Oregano's flavor and strength vary widely according to the climate and region where it is grown. The hot and dry Mediterranean climate yields a robust, full flavor with a slightly bitter and peppery taste. The cooler regions of Europe and North America yield a more delicate aroma and sweeter taste. McCormick's oregano leaves are carefully selected to insure consistency in leaf size, color and flavor.

Usage tips:
1 tsp. dried Oregano Leaves = 2 tsp. chopped fresh oregano

Sprinkle over pizza or add 1/2 tsp. to 2 cups spaghetti sauce.
Gives a Mediterranean flair to chicken, fish, tomatoes, potatoes and rice.
Add a zesty flavor to sauteed zucchini, squash, eggplant and mushrooms.
