Rosemary is an essential ingredient for holiday turkeys, but it also adds wonderful flavor to meats, poultry, potatoes, soups, and sauces. Rosemary has a piney aroma and a distinctive sharp flavor, which complements many cooked foods. Rosemary has silvery, needle-like leaves and delicate flowers. It is highly resistant to deer, drought, and pests. Rosemary has been used for centuries both medicinally and in the kitchen. The leaves are used as a flavoring in foods such as stuffing, roast lamb, pork, chicken, and turkey. It is also attractive and great to use for landscaping. In summer, white, pink, or blue flowers arise in great masses.
