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 these 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. Its 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 scent. Its 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. |
