I own a rosemary shrub contained by my front courtyard...?
i'm glad abut it, but what can i use it for?
also how do i wipe it and prepare it for eating?
what are the nutritional benefits to rosemary?
Answers: YUMO I grow it too. I strip it from the stalk and mince it up beside garlic to stuff leg of lamb. I use the whole stalk near lemons or limes inside the cavity of whole chickens. I mince it up beside garlic and butter and stuff it under the skin of chicken. I dry it and tender it as gifts to my neighbors and put it in pretty little jar or tins. It has a woody flavor and it taste great on oven roasted veggies. Nutritional value, I don't really know. I do rinse mine stale with sea before using it. I've also used it to product wreaths by attaching the woody stems to styrofoam forms. It usually lasts in the region of a week, but smells really nice when you go through the door.
Rosemary can be used dry or fresh. Typically it is used contained by meat dishes and stews. Here is a nice article about rosemary including a portion on unusual facts.

Hi:
Rosemary is a wonderful herb that have many different things you can do next to it. If you live in a space heater climate this bush will stay evergreen year around and produce flowers in hasty spring or late winter.
It is a great herb for bringing within cuttings and putting them in a pot and smelling their aroma.
Rosemary is also fantastic on top of a beef or pork roast. I cut a few sprigs bad and arrange them on top of the roast and also on the bottom of the tub.
I have different articles on herb on my website. I will direct to my Landscape Article page where I hold articles about different aspects of herb growing, cooking, drying and preserving. Also hold a gallery of plant section where on earth you could also see eight basic culinary herb. I hope this has help some and best of luck using your Rosemary. Feel free to contact me anytime.
