What is Greek seasoning? 

Greek spice is a blend of various dried herbs and spices used in Mediterranean cuisines.

The blend typically includes Mediterranean oregano, garlic, onion, dill, parsley, marjoram and thyme. Depending on the blend, other spices such as basil, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and pepper may be included.

Are Greek seasonings the same as Mediterranean?

While Greek seasonings and Mediterranean seasonings can be used interchangeably, they are not identical. Greek spice blends typically contain marjoram, which is not found in Mediterranean seasonings. As well, Mediterranean blends generally include cardamom and cloves which are not found in Greek blends.
