But for centuries, this pungent herb has also been highly prized for its medicinal qualities.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Originally native to the Mediterranean region, oregano is now naturalized across much of the northern hemisphere. A member of the mint family, the herb is a perennial. However, it is sometimes grown as an annual in areas with harsh winters.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Oregano\u2019s Latin binomial is <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Origanum vulgare<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. The genus <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Origanum<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> combines the words \u2018oros\u2019, or mountain, and \u2018ganos\u2019, meaning brightness. This name, \u2018brightness of the mountain\u2019 fits an herb that cascaded across the sides of the highest hills in Ancient Greece, reflecting the morning light off the dew on its leaves. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The specific epithet, <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">vulgare<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, typically defines the \u2018common\u2019 species within a genus. So many often refer to this herb as common oregano. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The plant is also sometimes referred to as wild marjoram, and it\u2019s closely related to sweet marjoram, <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">O. majorana<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. These two plants are often used interchangeably, although oregano has a much stronger flavor and aroma.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Two other species of Origanum available to the grower also bear mentioning; <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">O. onites<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, the Greek oregano and <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">O. syriacum<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, from Syria. Both are beautiful plants, similar in flavor to the common variety. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Either of these herbs would make a fine addition to the garden.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Oregano in the Kitchen<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A list of oregano\u2019s culinary uses would be almost endless as this versatile herb adds a depth of flavor and aroma to many dishes. But this herb most commonly pairs in the kitchen with tomato. This combination is practically ubiquitous! <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You&#8217;ll find oregano in most tomato-based sauces, like marinara and pizza sauce, but it also brings delicious flavor to roasted meats and vegetables. The woodsy flavor adds vibrance to chicken and other poultry, and it also pairs well with other herbs in seasoning blends.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Oregano, of course, features in the customary \u201cItalian Seasoning\u201d blend found in practically every grocery store and spice cabinet across the country. But it is also an essential ingredient in the more elevated <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">herbes de Provence<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, a traditional herb mixture from the Provence region of France.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Try infusing the herb, along with rosemary and thyme, in a high-quality vinegar. Let the herbs steep for one to two weeks. Blend with virgin olive oil to create a robustly flavored vinaigrette to drizzle on your salads and vegetable dishes.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read more: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/from-the-herb-garden-thyme-is-terrific\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">It&#8217;s time for thyme!

Ancient Egyptians used oregano both topically and internally for a wide variety of ailments, including stomach upset, minor wounds, infections and skin irritations. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It was also prescribed as an antidote for poisoning. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/greekreporter.com\/2021\/05\/25\/oregano-the-quintessential-ancient-greek-herb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ancient Greeks, too,<\/a> recorded many of these traditional uses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Oregano is still a popular herb in the modern apothecary. A tea brewed from its leaves helps settle digestive issues or ease a persistent cough. Craft a salve to use topically on cuts, scratches and other skin abrasions. An antibacterial herb, oregano also does a great job at healing wounds.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I explore the many medicinal uses of oregano in my book <em>The Artisan Herbalist<\/em>.

It prefers full sun but will still do well in partial shade. Oregano is somewhat drought tolerant, and it\u2019s also quite cold-hardy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Once your plant is well-established, it should thrive for years to come!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can certainly start your plants from seeds as they germinate quite easily. Start your seeds eight to 10 weeks before your last spring frost. Transplant the young seedlings out into the garden after the weather warms and soil temps reach around 70 degrees F.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This herb is incredibly prolific, and it\u2019s so easy to propagate via root division. Simply separate an already established oregano plant into clumps, ensuring that each piece has some roots still attached, and replant wherever you want your oregano to grow. Be sure to keep the \u2018new\u2019 plants well-watered until they\u2019ve settled into their new homes. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Harvest your oregano regularly to encourage new growth and strong, healthy plants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly ubiquitous on spice racks the world over, easy-to-grow oregano brings flavor to a wide variety of dishes and a range of medical uses, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9499,"featured_media":94875,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[57,58,10458,10459,428],"tags":[591,10569,588],"class_list":["post-94868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beginning-farmers","category-crops-gardening","category-farm-garden","category-food","category-homesteading","tag-herbs","tag-natural-medicine","tag-oregano"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.0 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>From The Herb Garden: Oh, Oregano!
