L'Herbier de France Organic Rosemary - 50g -

"I went to my garden to pick rosemary ..."

This French song recalls a Languedoc custom of giving a sprig of rosemary to a young girl as a sign of adoration- At the same time, it warns girls not to give rosemary away prematurely, because "men are no good and boys even less so".

Rosemary is a highly symbolic plant, often associated with fertility. In former times, rosemary wreaths were placed on the heads of schoolchildren to free their minds. Since the story with the "water of the Queen of Hungary", rosemary has also been used against ageing. It is said to improve memory because it stimulates brain activity.

Nowadays, rosemary is mainly used for its balancing effect on the digestive system.

In the kitchen, rosemary is one of the four main ingredients in the herbs of Provence. The aromatic rosemary twigs are often used to decorate and flavour dishes.
