Rosemary Plants: |
||||
|
Rosemary is a very fragrant plant, which produces extremely delicate, purple to white flowers. The leave of the rosemary plant (Rosmarinus officinalis) are long, slender, dark green and extremely fragrant. The fresh leaves of this evergreen plant are a light color on the bottom and slightly sticky; a powerfully scented and flavored resin coats them. The rosemary plant is a Simi hardwood native of the Mediterranean that can grow four to six feet tall. It's Latin name, ros-marinus, means "dew of the sea", presumably because rosemary likes to grow by the sea. The plant has been burned as a kind of incense for thousands of years; today it is also widely used in food and beauty products such as popular shampoos, facial washes and perfumes.

Use of Rosemary: |

| Humans have
consumed Rosemary at least since Egyptian times; it has a strong and
powerful flavor that should be used sparingly. Today, the herb is very
important in southern Mediterranean and French cooking. The leaves have a
strong, somewhat antiseptic sent. It's flavor is reminiscent of a sweet
pine. Rosemary is very good on roasted or grilled foods; it is also
commonly combined with vegetables, roasted chicken, lamb, fish, added to soups,
sauces, stuffing, and marinades. The fresh leaves of this plant can easily be saved for use
later by drying, or freezing them. |

Other Uses of Rosemary: |
||||
|
Rosemary also is widely used in beauty products such as popular shampoos, facial washes and perfumes. Try making strong rosemary tea to use as a hair rinse, or to add to shampoos and conditioners. Soaking rosemary leaves in plain rubbing alcohol for several days can make a concentrated rosemary scent. Remove the leaves; if alcohol has partials in it, the mixture will need to be run through a coffee filter. Then simple allow the alcohol to evaporate and you will have potent rosemary sent. To make rosemary-scented soap, add the above described concentrated rosemary scent to melted Neutrogena soap (or similar soap) and allow cooling in desired mold for shape. Try adding a few whole leaves to the mold before the soap cools to add a decorative touch. The rosemary plant has also been used for its many medical properties since ancient times. It is most well known as a mild antidepressant.
