Marjoram is a fragrant herb with delicate, oval-shaped grayish-green leaves. Its flavor is mild, sweet, and slightly floral, often described as a milder version of oregano. Dried marjoram retains its aromatic properties and is a popular culinary herb for adding a subtle yet distinct flavor to a variety of dishes. Fresh marjoram offers a brighter, more vibrant flavor compared to its dried counterpart. Often mistaken for oregano, knowing how to use marjoram can elevate everyday recipes.
