What it is
A needle-leaved culinary herb with a strong evergreen aroma.
Plain-language buying tip
Use fresh sprigs for roasts, potatoes, beans, and infused oil; use dried rosemary sparingly because it can stay woody.
Forms and use
Chop fresh leaves finely or infuse whole sprigs, then remove them before serving.
Common forms include fresh sprigs, dried leaves. Match the form to the job: visible ingredient, even distribution, or a slow infusion you can strain.
Storage
Keep dried rosemary tightly sealed, cool, dark, and dry.
Quick questions
What should I check before buying Rosemary?
Check the stated botanical identity or style when available, the form, and the ingredient list. These details are more useful than relying on a broad category name alone.
