McCormick Marjoram, Ground 11oz 311g
McCormick Ground Marjoram delivers soft, warm herbal flavor with a touch of minty sweetness and only a hint of bitterness—exactly what many savory dishes need when oregano would be too sharp. It’s made from finely ground, dried leaves and flowers of Origanum majorana, so it blends smoothly into sauces, soups, dressings, rubs, and more.
Because it is ground, this marjoram spreads its flavor evenly without leaving leafy bits. Use it near the end of cooking to keep its aroma lively:
- Stir a pinch into tomato sauces, brown sauces, or gravy for a rounder, more aromatic profile.
- Add to soups, stews, or chowders for subtle depth without overpowering the other ingredients.
- Season lamb, pork, beef, veal, or game; it also works well with chicken, fish, and shellfish.
- Mix into stuffings, egg dishes, breads, or tossed salads and dressings where you want a gentle herbal lift.
Ground marjoram is a quiet hero in Mediterranean, French, Middle Eastern, and Latin American cooking—it’s there to support the dish, not steal the show.
Best use tip: add it late in the cooking process so the delicate flavor stays bright, especially in quick sauces or lightly cooked vegetables.
Ingredients: Ground Dehydrated Marjoram Leaves.
