Rosemary has a strong aroma and flavor (akin to pine) that goes well when for seasoning roasted meats and poultry. The plant is native to the Mediterranean region. Rosemary looks like a mini evergreen shrub with its needle-like leaves; in fact, rosemary bushes are cut and sold as table-top (miniature Christmas trees) centerpieces during the holidays. Rosemary is member of the mint family. Health benefits include boosting the immune system and aiding in digestion. Try adding rosemary to your favorite grilling marinade or dry rub. Also, place a sprig of rosemary in a freshly brewed pot of tea for a change. We’ve also tossed a sprig of rosemary into a simmering batch of gravy. Can you think of other uses for this ingredient?

Put the mini-evergreen version in the living room when guests are over. It's a safe and organic air freshener of sorts.
