Cuban Oregano is a robust, aromatic herb known for its thick, fleshy leaves and strong, oregano-like flavor. Despite its name, it is not a true oregano but is closely related to mint. The plant is often used in Caribbean and Asian cuisines, where its pungent leaves add a bold flavor to dishes.

Cuban Oregano is a perennial herb that thrives in warm, tropical climates and is also commonly grown as a potted plant indoors. The plant has fuzzy, succulent leaves that are typically green with a slightly scalloped edge, and it produces small, pale purple or white flowers. It is used in cooking as a seasoning for meats, stews, and soups, and it is also valued for its medicinal properties, particularly as a remedy for respiratory issues.
