Oregano

Oregano

This herb usually falls into two categories: Mexican and Mediterranean. They're similar, but Mexican oregano may taste more citrusy than the sweet, peppery Mediterranean variety. Oregano is a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for heart health. Oregano may also help combat some types ofcancer cells (though what we add to dinner will likely have a minimal effect)[11].
Taste: Lemony, minty, peppery (depending on type)
Perfect For: Seasoning pizza crusts and pasta dishes, as well as homemade dressings and poultry rubs.
Greatist Recipe Pick: Add fresh oregano to this five-ingredient veggie-packed quinoa.
