What is marjoram spice?

Marjoram is a culinary herb that is commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking. It has a slightly sweet and citrusy flavor, with hints of pine and mint. Marjoram is often used to season meats, vegetables, salads, and soups.

Marjoram is native to the Mediterranean region and is a member of the mint family. It is closely related to oregano, but is milder and more delicate in flavor.

In addition to its culinary uses, marjoram has also been used in traditional medicine for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is believed to help with digestion, respiratory issues, and muscle pain.

Marjoram is typically used dried, as the flavor intensifies when the herb is dried. It can be found in most grocery stores in the spice aisle, either whole or ground. It is also easy to grow at home in a sunny location with well-drained soil.
