A member of the mint family, rosemary is originally from the Mediterranean where it grows wild. Contrary to popular belief, rosemary is not so named because of an affiliation with either roses or the biblical Mary. Instead, the word "rosemary" comes from Latin (rosmarinus) and means "dew of the sea". Our cut and sifted rosemary is aromatic with a pungent flavor and is excellent in soups and fruit salads as well as on fish, chicken and potatoes. It also makes a delicious addition to tea and other sweet applications.
Spices and herbs should be stored away from light, heat and moisture. However, storing spices in the refrigerator or freezer may actually shorten their shelf life and they risk picking up other food odors. In general, whole spices have a longer shelf life than ground spices. Depending on the spice and how well it is stored, a good rule of thumb is six months to a year for powdered spices and longer for whole spices and seeds. The best way to determine if your spices or herbs are still fresh is to close your eyes and sniff – if you cannot immediately tell what the herb or spice is, toss it!
