A warm and slightly bitter herb found throughout international cuisine, though especially well—loved in the Mediterranean, organic oregano is shade dried and delicious in tomato—based sauces, on pizza, in barbeque rubs, and with basil. Oregano is rich in antioxidants and a useful antimicrobial for scaring off stomach bugs. When made into a topical ointment, it serves as an effective antiseptic for small cuts and abrasions.
