About
Dried oregano is a flaky, lightweight culinary herb that weighs only about 1.7 ounces (47 g) per cup.
Dried oregano has a bulk density of about 1.7 ounces per US cup (0.2 g/mL). Because the dried leaves are crushed into loose flakes rather than ground into powder, air fills most of the space between them. It takes up much more volume per ounce than dense seasonings like fine salt or black pepper. Other crushed leafy seasonings, such as dried basil and thyme, have a similarly light footprint.
From Wikipedia
Oregano, sometimes called wild marjoram, is a species of flowering plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae. It is native to the Mediterranean region but widely naturalised elsewhere in the temperate Northern Hemisphere, particularly the United States and Mexico.
