Mexican Oregano - Botanical Name:(Lippia graveolens) Origin: Mexico
Native to the southwestern USA, Mexico and Central America , Mexican oregano has a very different flavor profile than Mediterranean oregano. It is more pungent and has a robust, citrus-like flavor that stands up well to the stronger flavors used in Mexican cooking.Mexican oregano is very compatible with chili powder, chili peppers, cumin, garlic, and onion. As a culinary ingredient, dried mexican oregano leaves are typically used in traditional Mexican cuisine such as enchiladas, tamales, tacos, posoles, stews, soups.
