Rosemary is a perennial herb in the mint family that occurs naturally throughout the Mediterranean region and is widely cultivated elsewhere. The herb gets its name from the Latin ros and marinus that means “dew of the sea” because it hardly needs any more moisture than that provided by sea breeze. A good source of fiber, calcium and iron, rosemary adds earthy goodness to soups, stews, breads and roasted meats and vegetables.
