Cuban Oregano Powder
Plectranthus amboinicus
Cuban oregano (Plectranthus amboinicus) is a semi-shrubby perennial of the mint family, growing to about a metre, its broad rounded leaves thick and fleshy, its pinkish-lilac to blue flowers 8-12 mm long set in dense whorls in terminal spike-like inflorescences. Almost pantropical now, and thought to have come from Indonesia or perhaps Africa, it is much planted throughout Malesia and grows on roadsides, waste ground and river banks to 1,500 m. In Vietnam it is called húng chanh or rau tần dày lá, and the leaves flavour a popular sour soup as well as meat dishes and stews; they are scented enough to be rubbed on hair and clothes.
