OREGANO
• Greek term:
• “Oros” – means mountain
• “Ganos” – means joy,
brightness, ornament

• Oregano is an important culinary
herb commonly used as food
flavouring for its aromatic, slightly

that it is high in antioxidant that can
help prevent cancer.
• Oregano grows from 20–80 cm tall,
with opposite heart-shaped leaves
3 to 9 cm long. Oregano flowers
are purple, 3–4 mm long, produced
in erect spikes. It is sometimes
called wild marjoram, and its close
relative O. majorana is then known
as sweet marjoram.
