What is Marjoram?
Marjoram is a perennial herb that thrives in the Mediterranean region. It is sometimes confused with oregano. The primary difference between marjoram and oregano is the texture, as marjoram is much more finely textured than oregano.
In ancient Egypt, marjoram was used for its healing properties, and the goddess Aphrodite was believed to be particularly fond of this herb. The Greeks used it to make wreaths and garlands for weddings and funerals. During the Middle Ages, European ladies used marjoram in nosegays.
What is it used for today?
Marjoram is often featured in blends for poultry, meat and sausages. It is a typical component of many herb-based blends, like za’atar and herbs de Provence, and is sometimes used in seasonings for vegetables.
