Dried oregano at home - how to prepare oregano seasoning
Aromatic oregano is used for healing and in cooking. But here this medicinal herb appears under the name “oregano”. Everyone already knows oregano, unlike motherwort, ladanka, macerdushka, oregano, zenovka, but they are all the same plant.
When collecting oregano, try not to take contaminated plants. Cut with scissors at about halfway through the stem, you want the inflorescences and the top part with the inflorescences and leaves.
Tie oregano into small bouquets and hang it under a shed or in the attic. The main requirement is the absence of direct sunlight and a slight draft.
There are special drying chambers for drying medicinal herbs; the temperature in them does not exceed 35 degrees, and this is the maximum permissible temperature. At higher temperatures, essential oils will begin to evaporate from oregano, and this is the main component of the slightly tart taste and aroma of oregano.
After drying, sort through the grass and select what will be used for tea and other medicinal purposes, and what will be used for cooking.
The coarse stems can be brewed for medicinal purposes, and the more fragile particles that will be used in the seasoning can be chopped into smaller pieces and stored in a glass jar with a lid.
