Oregano Leaves: An Aromatic Herb with History and Versatility

Oregano leaves have a long history dating back to ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, where they were used in both cooking and medicine. Originally from the mountainous regions of the Mediterranean, oregano was quickly adopted around the world for its distinctive flavor and beneficial properties.
