The healing power of marjoram
-
Marjoram is more often referred to as marjoram or true marjoram in the Netherlands. Some people call it sausage spice. True marjoram is native to the Mediterranean. Marjoram has a slightly thyme-like aroma. Marjoram is part of herbes de provence, a French green herbal blend. Oregano is closely related to marjoram; you could use it in recipes instead of marjoram. In France a cross between oregano and marjoran has been made; this is called French marjoram.
Awesome iron and manganese

Marjoram is used in salads, soups, dressings, stews, egg dishes, vegetable dishes, marinades and sauces. It is an incredibly healthy herb; much healthier than many vegetables. We do not eat it in large quantities, but that may be unjustified. Using herbs as salad vegetables is a culinary responsible option. You could grow marjoram yourself to make a salad; then you make effective use of the incredibly large amounts of vitamins and minerals that are hidden in this plant growing low to the ground. It contains the most iron: 110 grams of marjoram accounts for over 1000% of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA)
