Marjoram can be used in many ways as a strong spice in the kitchen. Here’s everything you need to know about the herb. Marjoram ( Origanum majorana<\/em> ) is a mint ( Lamiaceae<\/em> ) closely related to oregano ( Origanum vulgare<\/em> ). Nevertheless, some properties distinguish marjoram from classic pizza herb.<\/p>\n

While oregano can be grown for several years due to its extensive winter hardiness, the marjoram usually leaves the garden before the cold temperatures. The herb, native to Asia Minor, found its way to Central Europe at an early stage. For the Greeks, marjoram symbolized happiness and was used as a necklace for newlyweds.<\/p>\n

In the Middle Ages, the herb was assigned not only healing properties for stomach ailments and wounds but also psychological complaints and language disorders. In this country, it is also called sausage cabbage, as it is used as a classic flavor component in many sausage recipes. In our regions, however, the temperatures are usually not conducive to overwintering crops. Everything else that needs to be considered when growing marjoram is explained in detail below so that nothing stands in the way of a rich harvest.<\/p>\n
