Marjoram is a medicinal plant more defined as an aromatic herb, rich in unique aromas, with characteristics very close to those of oregano. Not very cold tolerant, Origanum majorana has a sweet flavour. In cooking, Marjoram leaves are often used in salads, vegetables, pasta, sauces and even in olive oil with other aromatic herbs such as sage, thyme, and rosemary. Besides the Marjoram in culinary dishes, you can use it in infusions to relieve indigestion and intestinal gases.
