The mouthfeel is juicy and crunchy; the taste has aspects of oregano, thyme, borage, marjoram and mint. That promises a lot for its use! The taste of the leaf is quite strong, making it ideal for meat dishes. Many tropical foods that contain "oregano aroma" are usually seasoned with Five-in-one-herb.
