Rosemary
Botanical name: (Rosmarinus officinalis)
Also Known As: Anthos
Rosemary is native to the Mediterranean region. Rosemary is a well—known and greatly valued herb that is native to southern Europe. The fresh and dried leaves are used frequently in traditional Mediterranean cuisine; they have a bitter, astringent taste and are highly aromatic, which complements a wide variety of foods.
A tisane can also be made from them. When burned they give off a distinct mustard smell, as well as a smell similar to that of burning which can be used to flavor foods while barbecuing.
Rosemary is extremely high in iron, calcium, and Vitamin B6. Rosemary extract has been shown to improve the shelf life and heat stability of omega—3 rich oils, which are prone to going rancid.
It has been used since antiquity to improve and strengthen the memory. Rosemary leaves increase circulation, reduce headaches and have anti—bacterial and fungal properties. Rosemary has a long—standing reputation as a tonic, invigorating herb, imparting a zest for life that is to some degree reflected in its distinctive aromatic taste.
