I've been growing Oregano for as long as ive had a garden. When needed, I always pick the leaves and chop them up for whatever recipe Im using it for.
When Im in thee store, I occasional see Greek or Mexican Oregano sold in a box or bad, and it appears they are the flowering part of the oregano ( the part that is left after the bees pollinate them and the flowers themselves fall off).
I have 3 pics, one of the whole plant, one of just the leaves and the other of the florets.
Is there a right or wrong part of the plant to use?
Is one part more potent or flavorful than the other?
Does it not make a difference at all ?
