Dried Oregano Is the Way to Go

May 12, 2014

Oregano is one of those few herbs that has a better flavor when dried so I always buy it when I am in Italy or in Italian specialty stores here. It is usually sold in bunches still on the stem and wrapped in cellophane. It has great flavor and I add it to soups, sauces and stuffings. Don’t settle for the store variety sold in little jars if you can avoid it because it really lacks flavor. Go for the bag instead.
