Lippia graveolens
plant overview
not just for pizza
Oregano is a perennial member of the mint family that is native to the
Mediterranean region, as well as South America, Asia and Europe. The herb is
widely used in Indian, Moroccan, Spanish, Mexican, Italian and Greek
cuisines. Although oregano is generally thought of in most of the world as
the standard pizza sauce seasoning, the flavor profile of the herb varies
depending on species. The oregano featured so prominently in Italian cooking
is actually Greek oregano, which is also cultivated in Italy and Egypt.
Mexican oregano, on the other hand, which is native to Mexico, Central and
South America, lends a milder and slightly lemony flavor to foods.
