What is Greek seasoning?

Delicious Greek seasoning Inspired by the Mediterranean A blend of herbs traditionally used to add depth to meats, vegetables, sauces and marinades. It combines classic Greek flavors like oregano, basil, dill, garlic and rosemary. The result is a delicious seasoning that works in a variety of recipes.

Oregano is one of the most popular Greek flavors and adds a piquant taste (it’s not just an Italian spice!). Then I add herbs like basil, parsley, dill, thyme, and rosemary to get all the flavors. Garlic and onion powder provide that delicious base that makes this blend so versatile, while a touch of cinnamon adds some warmth.

It’s also an easy way to incorporate a wide range of micronutrients, antioxidants and antimicrobial compounds into daily meals. People have used herbs for thousands of years not only to make dishes taste good, but because they support overall health.
