Rosemary leaf plant is a hardy perennial in the mint family that occurs naturally throughout the Mediterranean, with the association to memory and scholarly pursuits. In ancient Greece, students wore garland wreaths of rosemary around their heads to help them retain information and improve recall during exams. Rosemary contains a potent antioxidant compound called rosmarinic acid that is being studied for its efficacy in countering memory loss in people with neurological disorders.
Rosemary leaves can be used alone or in combination with other herbs to season soups, stews, meats, vegetables, and bread. It blends well with other fragrant herbs in the mint family, such as thyme and oregano. In cooking, rosemary is used to flavor grilled, roasted and braised meats and vegetables. It is also baked into olive oil breads and flatbreads, including focaccia. Combined with caramelized onion and balsamic vinegar, rosemary adds a distinctive taste to a jam-like chutney traditionally served with roast beef.
