Rosemary (') is a woody, perennial herb with fragrant evergreen needle-like leaves. It is native to the Mediterranean region. It is a member of the mint family Lamiaceae, which also includes many other herbs. The name ''rosemary'' has nothing to do with the rose or the name Mary, but derives from the Latin name ', which is from "dew" (''ros'') and "sea" (''marinus''), or "dew of the sea" — apparently because it is frequently found growing near the sea.
A strong flavored and aromatic herb that grows as an evergreen shrub with the latin name Rosmarinus Officinalis . The needles, fresh or dried, are most often used to flavor meats, seafood, and root vegetables. The woody stem of the rosemary plant can be used as a skewer for grilling meats or seafood.
