Rico Rico – 100% Natural | Organic from Mexico | Premium Raw Herb
Experience the true essence of Mexican cuisine with Rico Rico’s Raw Mexican Oregano — a powerful, vibrant herb that adds authentic boldness to your dishes. Unlike Mediterranean oregano, Mexican oregano delivers floral, citrusy, and slightly licorice notes, with a stronger and less bitter profile.
This raw, hand-processed oregano comes lightly sifted, containing leaves and stems for maximum flavor. Simply crumble a few pinches between your fingers before cooking to release its natural oils and aromatic punch. Ideal for hearty stews, grilled meats, spicy salsas, and traditional Mexican recipes.
