Rosemary is pine-scented herb, that grows into a small shrub that can reach up to four feet in height in an ideal climate. The plant produces flat, needle-like leaves that are about one inch in length, green in colour with a silver-grey sheen on the underside. Rosemary�s needle-like leaves grow in thick rows, straight upward on multi-branched, woody stems. The fragrance is very pungent, with a bitter and astringent, pine-like taste. When mature, white or blue, two-lipped flowers bloom at the tops of the stems. Rosemary is generally harvested prior to flowering. 

Rosemary has a wide variety of uses. It is a potent herb and should be used sparingly. In culinary applications, Rosemary pairs well with other herbs but can be used lightly on its own. Finely chop Rosemary and add it to eggs, cheeses, and roasted potatoes. Use it to flavour stuffed meats or chicken, and vegetables. Add Rosemary to soups and stocks for its aroma and flavour. The astringent nature of Rosemary makes it an ideal herb for flavouring fatty meats like lamb or oily fish. Rosemary is a common herb for flavouring bread and savoury muffins. 

Rosemary is very low in Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Vitamin A, Thiamin, and Magnesium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Folate, Calcium, Iron, and Manganese.
