Marjoram (Dried) and IBS: what to know
For IBS meal notes, record the dried marjoram in the sauce or seasoning and the portion of that recipe eaten. A prepared tomato sauce or sausage may include the herb alongside other ingredients. Its low serving cannot establish the rating of those products or identify how much herb they contain.
Gut-friendly ways to eat marjoram (dried)
Weigh the dried herb before stirring it into a sauce, soup or savoury mixture. For a shared recipe, allocate the full amount across its servings and count additional garnish. Dried chives and dried coriander leaves have separate guides when comparing dried herbs or building your own blend.
