Organic Dried Rosemary

Rosemary is an herb native to the Mediterranean region. It is typically dried for use in food products, preserving its flavor and aroma. The leaves are often ground into a powder or used whole.

Dried rosemary is primarily used as a flavoring agent in a wide variety of foods. Its pungent, pine-like flavor complements savory dishes, meats, and baked goods. It is commonly found in pasta sauces, seasoned snacks, and bread products.

In the U.S., dried rosemary is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food flavoring. It is a source of antioxidants and other plant compounds. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated rosemary extracts, but not the dried herb itself in the same way. Research suggests potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, but more studies are needed to confirm these effects in humans at typical dietary intakes.
