I use a lot of oregano but I have yet to use any that Ive grown myself. Mission for this summer! I had no idea though that it was this good for our health.
It even takes the carcinogens out the barbecue
"One study found that adding an antioxidant-rich spice blend that included oregano to meat prior to cooking reduced the level of malondialdehyde (a chemical marker for oxidation) in the meat by 71 percent and levels in participants' urine by 49 percent.14 The researchers used a blend of:
Cloves Cinnamon Oregano Rosemary
Ginger Black pepper Paprika Garlic powder
You can easily recreate this simply by mixing the dry spices together and rubbing them onto the meat before you quickly sear it, or add them to your marinade."
