oregano



During these difficult and trying times here's a tasty distraction.

Oregano.

Something about that tasty little herb hmm

It just looks so symmetrical..

oregano

The word oregano comes from the Greek, meaning “joy of the mountain.”
It's believed to calm nerves.
The ancient Greeks would have their cows graze in oregano fields and were convinced it resulted in tastier meat.

Fun Fact: Did you know that oregano just barely lost out to parsely, sage, rosemary and thyme in auditions to appear in the famous Simon and Garfunkel song Scarborough fair?
