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.
