This herb is used either fresh or dried to flavor dishes. It is a typical herb in Italian cooking and it is hard to imagine a pizza without oregano. Oregano goes wonderfully with tomato, salads, cheeses, vegetables (carrots), eggs, meat and fish. Very nice with cucumber. It is one of the ingredients for chili con carne.
El orégano crece de forma espontánea en Eurasia, Escandinavia, norte de Rusia y América del norte.
