Oregano is a fresh herb used as a spice in cooking. It has almost no food value on its own. Its worth is in the kitchen, where it seasons a long list of dishes.
As a spice it does not count toward the ingredient limit of a dish. Fresh oregano spoils within about a week, but it can be dried to keep. It is found wild, grown on a farm from Oregano Seeds, and sometimes found in restaurant fridges. The best occupations for herbs are the Fishing Guide and the Park Ranger. Each starts with the same Foraging skill.
Eating
Eating fresh oregano lowers hunger by only 1. It holds almost no calories. It is not worth eating plain, and its place is in a cooked dish.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
Oregano is a spice. It can season Stir Fry, Pizza, an Omelette, Pasta, Salad, Soup, Stew, Bread, Toast, a Burger, a Hot Dog, a Burrito or a Taco. In each it adds 1 hunger.
Because it is a spice, it does not use up one of the ingredient slots in a dish. That means it can be added on top of a full pot of soup or stew.
Fresh oregano can be dried with the Dry Oregano recipe. Dried oregano seasons nearly the same dishes and keeps much longer.
These dishes take the Oregano as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Farming
Oregano grows from Oregano Seeds. A plant takes about 20 days to grow and gives 4 to 6 bunches at harvest. The sowing season runs from February to April, and March is the best month to plant. Oregano planted from July to January does poorly.

Storage
Fresh oregano stays fresh for 6 days and is rotten by day 10. A fridge slows both counts. Drying it is the better way to keep a harvest.
Locations
Oregano is a rare find in loot. Restaurant kitchen fridges hold it now and then, and a fridge in a house can turn one up. Growing it from seed or picking it wild is far more reliable.

- Dry a harvest to keep it, since fresh oregano rots within 10 days.
- Plant in March for the best crop.
- One plant gives 4 to 6 bunches, enough to season many meals.
