Description
Majoram is a familiar herb, often mistaken for its close relative, oregano. Although both are members of the mint family, they are distinctively different. In fact, marjoram has some sage qualities. Its petite ovate leaves are thick and fuzzy and its flavor is delicate, almost sage-like. Its chemical components reveal undertones of camphor and pine. Its fresh leaves are more potent in flavor and aroma than dried, yet its harvested more often for its dried form and used in herb blends such as Herbs de Provence and Za'atar.
