A versatile herb in the culinary world, the warm and slightly bitter taste of Marjoram is used to flavor a wide variety of foods and dishes such as meats, stews, eggs, vegetables and salads. Marjoram is a bushy perennial plant of the Mint (Lamiaceae) family native to west Asia and the Mediterranean, though it is also a common inhabitant of many country gardens in Europe. The plant itself can grow 24 inches high, with dark green oval leaves and small grayish flowers that bloom in clusters around the hairy stem. The entire Marjoram plant is highly aromatic.
