Nutritional Information
Sweet marjoram, a member of the mint family, boasts pale green leaves and a mild, sweet flavor similar to the oregano plant. Loaded with Vitamin K, marjoram helps diminish the risk of blood clots and reduce blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels. Marjoram is also a good source of manganese, which helps strengthen bones, collagen, and connective tissue. In the form of an herbal tea, sweet marjoram leaves may also stimulate the immune system. Chefs who season their dishes with sweet marjoram add the herb toward the end of the cooking process so the seasoning’s mild flavor isn’t diluted.
