McCormick Oregano Leaves, Mexican, 5oz 141g - FAQ
- Q: What’s the difference between Mexican and Mediterranean oregano?
- A: Mexican oregano comes from a different plant family and has citrus and anise notes, while Mediterranean oregano leans more toward mint and thyme. Mexican oregano is common in chili powders and Latin American cooking, while Mediterranean is used more often in Italian and Greek dishes.
- Q: Can I use Mexican oregano in Italian recipes?
- A: You can, but the flavor profile is different. Mexican oregano has a bolder, more citrusy flavor that may stand out too much in traditional Italian dishes. Mediterranean oregano is more subtle and better suited for those recipes.
- Q: Is Mexican oregano stronger than regular oregano?
- A: Yes, it tends to be more pungent and aromatic, with a more pronounced flavor. Use slightly less if you’re substituting it for Mediterranean oregano.
- Q: Does Mexican oregano contain MSG?
- A: No. McCormick Mexican Oregano Leaves contain only dehydrated oregano and have no MSG added.
- Q: How should I store this oregano?
- A: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat, humidity, and direct light. This helps preserve flavor and color. Always use dry measuring tools to prevent moisture getting into the container.
