Fresh leaves are small, oval in shape and minutely hairy, with a pleasant sweet and spicy smell and a slightly bitter, aromatic and camphor like flavor. A perennial herb grows up to 1 to 1.5 feet height with tiny white or pale purple flowers borne in terminal rounded clusters formed by overlapping bracts. Marjoram is closely related to oregano or wild marjoram and za’atar also known as “biblical hyssop, but it has a milder flavor. Pot marjoram or Turkish oregano is sometimes used as a substitute. The quality is considered to be inferior. It has cone-like flower spikes arranged in false corymbs and the calyces are one lipped. Before the discovery of hops, marjoram was said to be used as an essential ingredient in the brewing of beer.
Marjoram is especially popular in Britain, Germany, France, Hungary, northern Italy, Spain and the United States. It is used in a wide variety of dishes, including salads, fish dishes, omelets, fried potatoes, sauces, gravies. It is very suitable for leafy and vegetable food and stuffing.
