Towering garden herb leaves and white spiky flowers.
The legend of Oregano goes, it was created by the Greek Goddess of love, Aphrodite, and grown as a symbol of joy in her garden.
Compared to other varieties of oregano, there really is nothing remarkable about Greek oregano from an ornamental viewpoint. It simply has hairy dark green leaves with small white flowers. But despite its aesthetic shortcomings the Mediterranean native may have, it compensates for the kitchen. While there are many varieties of oregano, Greek oregano is considered the “true oregano” and is typically the oregano that graces the standard supermarket spice rack. And, if you are curious about Greek oregano uses, it is savoured for its strong aroma and spicy intense flavour and is prominently used in Greek, Italian, or Spanish cuisine in homemade pizzas, tomato sauces, soups, and more.
