Greek oregano is commonly used in Mediterranean and Greek cuisine to season dishes such as grilled meats, vegetables, soups, and sauces. Its aromatic leaves can be used fresh or dried, and it pairs well with olive oil, lemon, and garlic.
Beyond culinary uses, Greek oregano also has traditional medicinal properties, known for its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory benefits. It can be brewed into teas, used in herbal remedies, or as a natural insect repellent in the garden.
