Marjoram is another name for oregano, which is a completely Paleo-friendly herb.
The Benefits of Herbs
Including plenty of herbs in your diet has been shown to lower blood pressure and improve glucose tolerance, but marjoram has a few properties that make it particularly appealing. Although most herbs and spices come loaded with antioxidants, marjoram contains an especially high dose. It’s also high in vitamins, such as vitamin K, and minerals like iron and manganese.
A Little Goes a Long Way
We generally only use small amounts of herbs when cooking, so it’s not enough to comprise a significant source of these nutrients, but it is enough to convey certain health benefits, especially if you go with the fresh stuff.
