In Greek, oregano means "mountain joy", and indeed, the variety known as Greek oregano (Origanum vulgare spp. hirtum) is the best-tasting of all.

Health benefits: Greek oregano offers near-unsurpassed antioxidant capacity, with a free radical-scavenging capacity much higher than that of vitamin E. Oregano gets much of its antioxidant power from a phenol called carvacrol (cymophenol), but it also contains high levels of rosmarinic acid: the healthful antioxidant that abounds in rosemary.

Storage Keep tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. Best if used within nine months of purchase. Serving tips Prized for its peppery leaves, Greek oregano adds a unique flavor note to tomato sauces and diverse Mediterranean dishes. It is both sweet and savory, and enhances meats, eggs, soups, and vegetables
