About Spices, oregano, dried
Oregano is the pungent, peppery herb that's practically the smell of pizza and Mediterranean cooking — used far more often dried than fresh, since drying actually intensifies its bold, slightly bitter flavor. It's a defining note in Italian, Greek and Mexican dishes.
Sprinkled by the pinch it adds little in the way of calories, but dried oregano is one of the most antioxidant-dense foods by weight there is, packed with the aromatic compounds (like carvacrol and thymol) behind both its flavor and its long traditional use. It also carries vitamin K and trace minerals.
A little dried oregano brings a big, savory, herby lift to tomato sauces, roasts and dressings — one of the few herbs that's arguably better dried than fresh.
