Rosemary

Rosemary is a fragrant evergreen herb native to the Mediterranean region, known for its needle-like leaves and distinct, piney aroma. A staple in both culinary and medicinal traditions, rosemary is prized for its ability to enhance the flavor of a wide variety of dishes, from roasted meats and vegetables to breads and soups. It is often used fresh or dried and can be infused in oils and teas. Beyond its culinary uses, rosemary has been historically valued for its potential health benefits, including its antioxidant properties and its role in improving memory and concentration.

The herb’s robust, earthy flavor pairs well with garlic, lemon, and olive oil, making it a versatile ingredient in Mediterranean and European cuisines. Whether used in cooking or as a natural remedy, rosemary continues to be celebrated for its rich history, aromatic qualities, and potential health benefits.
