What A Customer Had To Say by Stephen Cooper

"It is a nice, full leaf oregano... but the sticks are annoying! The larger ones are easy to pull out, but you really have to take some time to go through to get the small ones. And if you don't be prepared for some grimaces"

What We Said

"Hi Stephen I totally understand the issue you are having with the stems found in Mexican Oregano. This is a RAW form oregano, it is stronger and is not finely processed. It is not intended to be poured directly into your meal prep. Typically chefs Rub a few pinches of Mexican Oregano between their fingertips to release the herb’s fragrant oils, this is usually enough for most dishes. The less strong Mediterranean variety you find in most grocery stores is pour ready and can be added directly to meals."

Here is what TV Celebirty Chef Rick Bayless has to say about Mexican Oregano

"In Mexican groceries, oregano is typically sold in whole leaf form with flavorful blossom and twigs mixed in. Though its twigginess is a disadvantage, this oregano typically has the freshest, fullest flavor."
