Mexican Oregano
Mexican oregano is a fresh aromatic herb native to Mexico and Central America, belonging to the verbena family rather than the mint family like Mediterranean oregano. Its citrus-forward flavor profile features subtle licorice and earthy notes, with higher essential oil content that provides stronger antioxidant properties than its European counterpart. The leaves are traditionally used fresh in salsas, marinades, and meat rubs, offering a gluten-free flavor enhancer for authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine.
