Victoria,
I’m not sure how much germ killing power your regular “garden variety” oregano has. I willing to bet that Ria’s Puerto Rican oregano will kill some microbes though!

Dave, (LunaPierCook)
Right you are! Come to think of it, that’s true of many food products. Actually we should be thankful that we live in a time when so many spices, herbs, foods and flavors are so easily available to us. Look at Chris Columbus way back in 1492, wasn’t we looking for a more direct route to some “Spice Islands”? He was willing to sail half way around the world for exotic spices, while we just go to the local grocery store with out even thinking about it… Wow, have I gotten off the subject or what? Dave’s comments always makes me do that!

Ria,
We have never grown Puerto Rican oregano, it sounds intriguing!

Essential oil of oregano is like zillions times more effective at killing germs as the leading toxic chemical cleaner.
What about fresh oregano?

Any fresh herb or spice you can get your hands on is better than the store-bought stuff. Pitch those red-and-white cans while you have the peace of mind to do so!

Have you ever grown Puerto Rican oregano? That’s a really neat looking plant. The leaves are like a succulent, fat, and rubbery. Really, really pungent stuff though.
