ROSEMARY

Rosemary is a fragrant, evergreen herb commonly used in cooking and for its medicinal properties. It has a strong, pine-like aroma and a slightly bitter, peppery flavor. Rosemary is often associated with Mediterranean cuisine and can elevate both savory and sweet dishes.

Rosemary is rich in antioxidants, such as rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid, which can help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. Rosemary has natural anti-inflammatory properties, which can benefit conditions like arthritis or muscle pain. Rosemary has been linked to improved memory and concentration in some studies, as its scent is thought to have cognitive-enhancing effects.
