Drying Oregano

[@CTheos]

My parents has oregano growing in there garden and for years they have supplied me with dry crushed oregano, my father passed 5 years ago and my mother 1 month ago. I didn't think to ask either of them on how - when to cut-dry and crush the oregano so your video is invaluable to me, especially the tip to store it in the fridge . Thank you Sir !

[@princessdora4816]

Where can I get the seeds ❤

[@locater2]

"Don't worry about it", sounds so refreshing from an Italian, wish he was my neighbor so much wisdom

[@trevorpinnocky]

You're a real treasure to the cooking world. 👍🏽

[@pats5796]

I never knew you could use the flowers or store the oregano in the fridge. Thanks for the gardening lesson. P.ease do more videos like this. 😊

[@haydeestoffel7568]

I think the seeds fall off as he hangs them and dry them ☺️

[@raphaelm6149]

I need to hang out & dry some oregano with Pasquale👍 just to listen to him talk! Priceless 🤝

[@artvarvoutis2585]

You got to trust a man like this, he is speaking from his heart. I did not know about "the flowers"

[@SwtTrisha8]

Me either. I just bought an oregano plant to grow and needed to know how to dry it. Glad I found an Italian that knows these things. He’s precious!

[@zhamiladamn2975]

[@irizperez69]

i would like what dishes you make with the flowers. I enjoy learning from wise people who understand and appreciates the value of good wholesome food. Thank you!!!

[@lydialingle6306]

I also want to ask what dishes do you make with the flowers?

[@getkarla]

Wow...never knew I could use the flower! Thank you, Pasqual! What a blessing you are to all of us, new gardeners!

[@elizabethruff5886]

I used this method last year and it turned out so amazing I'm here watching again and brushing up because I'm about to do it again with this year's crop. Thank you!

[@scw8165]

So you only harvest at the end of summer, once per year?

[@dianeelaine]

This was so interesting. Thank you for showing us!

[@m.b.9209]

Possibly the best tutorial I have ever seen. ❤

[@alanlevy3422]

Thank you for your tutorial. It is the same process that my Greek friends showed me on how to harvest the leaves for cooking, and the seeds to expand the garden. A job well done. This reinforces me with what I was taught.

[@Mialia9]

Thank you! You remind me of my parents who from Greece. They bring home oregano from the mountains.

[@rosstodorovic4438]

Thank you for sharing this. Listening to your accent makes it even more enjoyable. I have tons of oregano in my garden to harvest and this helped me.

[@TS-sh8xo]

You remind me of my grandpa!! Love all the wisdom! Thank you 😄

[@joycemcinnis5457]

I love this ❤ I grew up in Pennsylvania with a friend whose Italian grandmother would cook authentic, delicious Italian meals. Her accent was much like yours, but not as good. This is great information! I harvested my oregano yesterday. I didn't know what to do with the flowers and now I know how to dry & store it. Thank you!

[@valerieg9494]

His accent reminds me of my Grandma's.

[@crazydayzjack]

Don't worry bout it LOVE THIS MAN! I made my own and did it just like you said to do and it worked out fantastic THANK YOU

[@wilsonalmeida2725]

Thank you so much for this precious information Pasquale. I threw my Oregano flowers last year. This year I’m gonna process them exactly the way you showed. Much love from Denmark 🙂🙏

[@noeldeal8087]

How do you harvest for the fall? Cut to two inches?

Thank you for sharing. I will definitely try this.

[@stvn___]

Beautiful Oregano, Orsara

[@Markuz1775]

I just love the way he explain things. I went to the Farmers and a lady I spoke has a ton of Oregano plants in her garden so now I know how to pick them, keep the flowers and dry them. I will probably use my dehydrator to dry them faster instead of direct sunlight. 🤓 ❤ 👍👍 👁

[@jasminephillips7675]

Thank you so much. I love oregano so much and have a few plants in my garden but never knew how to dry it out so I could store it. Now I know 🙂

[@accredo2011]

omg I could almost smell the oregano!

[@mutangpadan5311]

WOW! I almost disposed off my Oregano clippings yesterday. Someone told me it’s a herb. I left the handful of Oregano clippings under shed and decided to check it out in YT. Lo & behold I came to this video and a few others. I’m going to clean up the clippings and hang them to dry and do exactly as this lovely uncle has demonstrated. From now on, no more ‘throwing into the bin’ and I’m going to propagate what I hv in my backyard cos they are so easy to grow. Thank you so much uncle. Now a fan of Oregano.

[@timsela1628]

this guy is the best!

[@charger19691]

I had no idea how oregano was grown or harvested. Thanks Chef Pasquale, your the best!

[@all-gone]

I love it! Thank you Pasquale I always wanted to know how to grow and preserve fresh oregano. I’m thrilled by your tutorial. Grazie

[@jeffreyhilbourn209]

Hey young Man. I really love your videos. I’m in NC. And growing a garden and I’m growing Oregano. Cilantro. Basil. Mint. Parsley. And was trying to find out how to process and save. U re the Man. Thank u

[@MsUnik44]

Fantastic! I'm growing oregano this year for the first time and I was so amazed at how much it has grown. Was wondering what I was going to do with all of it and how I was going to keep it...Now, I know. Thank you so much for this how to. Will have to go buy some more mason gars.

[@cristianotorres7847]

Fantastic video. Straight to the point and it shows everything you need.

[@alibabafurball]

I throw away the flowers. I would love to see a video of what you can make with that. I had a lot of oregano once, it grew into the lawn. Every time i mowed the lawn i smelt pizza lol. My friend has the same problem with mint now in his back yard. Smells good though when you mow the lawn.

[@all-gone]

alibabafurball Oh my that sounds like a wonderful problem. I wish my grass weeds were oregano and mint. I’d love to live next door! How do you think that happened? Do you live up north or the south? I guess it would grow back every year if you live up north? Fascinating.

[@alibabafurball]

The oregano just spread year after year like mt friends mint did. I think the roots gave more plants with the seeds helping out as well with the oregano. This is north in Canada.

[@thelasttaarakian]

Its best to grow most herbs in dedicated containers or closed off areas. They are edible, hardy, weeds.

[@thelasttaarakian]

All Gone it happens because mint spreads by rhizomes under ground along with above ground foliage and can easily over winter when planted in the ground. Oregano and other similar plants (like Thyme) can grow roots from any point of the stem. So when you cut the plant each stem can become a new plant that will develop roots.

[@noeldeal8087]

@@all-gone Mine comes back every year. I need to cut it to two inches now that is October. Not sure. My oregano and mint have grown together and my momma bunny uses it every year to dig her nursery! 🐰🐇🌾🌿

Love your garden and you sir❤️👍🤣😂🙏

[@Mav_F]

I rather pick the Oregano when there are no flowers on it as the flowers means its gone to seed and leaving them will ensure more oregano will grow. As per your video, the one without the flower is the best one and I agree. I also hung it up outside under a veranda instead of moving it all the time. Thank you, its good to see how other Italians in the world do this.

[@Tasia71144]

Thank you! Love your video! I plan to go a bunch of oregano this summer. I cook with it but I’ve also been using it for medicine.
