About Spices, marjoram, dried
Marjoram (Origanum majorana), usually sold as sweet marjoram, is a tender Mediterranean herb closely related to oregano but noticeably milder, sweeter, and more floral, with a delicate, woodsy scent. Where oregano comes on bold and pungent, marjoram stays gentle and refined, which is why cooks add it near the end of cooking so its subtle perfume is not scorched away by long heat. It seasons soups, stews, roasted vegetables, omelets, sausages, and dried herb blends, and it has a natural affinity for poultry, lamb, and slow-cooked tomato dishes.
The herb offers antioxidants and fragrant essential oils for negligible calories. You can strip the small leaves from their wiry stems and chop them, or steep whole sprigs in a sauce and fish them out before serving. Wrap fresh marjoram in a damp paper towel and refrigerate it, and keep the dried herb in an airtight jar away from light, where it holds its aroma for months.
