The Goodness of Rosemary

Rosemary is a robust and most versatile herb with a flavor that complements a wide variety of dishes and ingredients. native to Mediterranean, its bittersweet green leaves resemble pine needles with white, pink, purple or blue flowers. The plant is an evergreen shrub, so the leaves are available all year round. The assertively pine-like fragrance and pungent flavor of rosemary goes a long way making the most delectable chicken, lamb, pork, salmon and tuna dishes, as wells as, many soups and sauces. Usually, the upright form of rosemary can reach up to 1.5 m (5ft.) tall, but I recently found out about the Rosemary Bonsai which I preferred to take care in my own kitchen rather than the tall one.

Rosemary contains substances that are useful for stimulating the immune system, increasing circulation, and improving digestion. Rosemary also contains anti-inflammatory compounds which makes it useful for reducing the severity of asthma attacks. In, addition rosemary has been shown to increase the blood flow to the head and brain, improving concentration. So, the next time you enhance the dish with rosemary, congratulate yourself for a wise, as well as delicious choice. Health benefit is one of the many reason why I chose to grow the Rosemary Bonsai in my own kitchen, so that I could use them fresh and I'm sure that it is free from any artificial fertilizers and pesticides.

In the world that we are living in today, we are using mostly machines and preservatives on our food, but we must also try to find ways in which we can still use organics rather than those harmful chemicals. In that way we can make sure that we are living healthily and happily.
