What do we do with our Rosemary plant?
It survived the winter, its quite large. We dug it up and are planting flowers. We do not wish to replant the rosemary so what can we do with the herb? Can we clip it hang it and dry it? Can we then use it for cooking or is it better fresh? Will it dry ok hanging up? I hate to just throw it away.
What do we do with our Rosemary plant?
yes , rosemary does well when cut back to the main stem and dried. and as you said , hang it up to dry , then gentlely pull the flowering part off the hard stem. put in a small jar or herb shaker! it is great with pork !!!
Reply:Yes to all of the above. The fresh stems you can use in the next few days for stuffing inside chicken and roasting. The rest dry and store the needles (not the stems). Personally I prefer the younger foliage for cooking. Yes it will dry by just hanging up, but not the whole bush, cut it apart to increase air circulation.
You can simmer the needles to add fragrance to your house.......OK, you need other smell goods too, straight rosemary is a bit much.
You can put some clean fresh and young springs in vinegar to make rosemary vinegar.
You could take the more flexible trimmings and make a rosemary wreath.
You'll have plenty for all the projects you can imagine, so you'll probably end up throwing the old gnarly stuff out for certain. No need to keep that.
Have fun!
Reply:yes, just hang it and dry it. It is always better fresh, but dried is no different than what you get from the store.

Reply:yes hang it to dry and make Rosemary potatoes. Boil some new potatoes until firm but tender. Let them cool. Cut them into quarters and pan fry with a little butter- and a small handful of Rosemary. Very delicious. Rosemary is also good on grilled meats
Reply:Like most culinary herbs, rosemary may help relax the smooth muscle lining the digestive tract, an action that makes it an antispasmodic, and a very effective treatment for indigestion. Simply adding it to your dishes will work magic.
Rosemary may also help relieve nasal and chest congestion caused by colds, flu, and allergies, and it is widely used to help relieve the symptoms of asthma.
For a pleasantly aromatic infusion to settle the stomach or clear a stuffy nose, simply steep 1 to 2 teaspoons freshly bruised rosemary leaves in a cup of boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes. Drink three cups a day. As a home-made tincture use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon up to three times a day.
Successfully growing rosemary indoors requires good sunlight -- the more the better -- and ideally a southern exposure. If the plant is large, rotate it weekly so all sides of the plant receive sunlight. Wiry growth often indicates inadequate light, and if you can't increase natural light, consider using artificial light. You can also prune plants to encourage bushiness. Indoor plants sometimes develop powdery mildew because of lack of air circulation. If this occurs, run a small (3-inch) fan for three to four hours a day. I've noticed that the creeping varieties grow and tolerate dry interior air better than the upright varieties.
If you choose to let the plant die then the address below gives instructions on drying herbs.
The second address is a link to the many uses of rosemary and how to make them.
Reply:Yes you can hang it upside down to dry the rosemary. OR you can even freeze it is a ziplock bag and use it when you need that fresh herb in a recipe. Rose mary is also good for keeping the mosquitos away (if you are in a area that has them). All you do is burn it and it works like citronella keeping those pesty bugs at bay.

Is there a dip that goes well with parmasean and rosemary crackers?
I was invited to a party and am bringing an appetizer/hors d'oeuvres. I have a nice recipe for parmasean and rosemary crackers but want to bring a dip too (just bringing crackers seems a little weird to me). Does anyone have a dip recipe that would go well with these flavors?
Thanks!

Reply:I'd say that maybe a hot ground beef dip would be good.
Whatever is simple...since the crackers have sufficient seasonings, the spread should be relatively conservative with seasonings.

Reply:Depending on the texture of your Parmesan %26amp; Rosemary cracker, this may work.
Lemon Aioli:
2 cloves garlic
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 large egg yolks*
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Pinch cayenne
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup water
With the back of a knife, crush the garlic. Gradually work the salt into the crushed garlic to make a paste. Place in a bowl. Whisk the eggs and lemon juice with the garlic paste and incorporate. Add the cayenne. Slowly whisk in the oil, a little at a time, until all the oil is incorporated and the mixture emulsifies. Add the water 1 tablespoon at a time to thin the sauce to drizzling consistency.
Keep refrigerated until ready to use. (Use within 24 hours.)
Yield: 1 1/4 cups
*RAW EGG WARNING
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
Lemon/Parmesan/rosemary always work well together. You may want to go with a lighter dip, however if your cracker is more on the buttery/flaky side.
Since you're making the crackers from scratch, avoid using an overpowering dip. You took the time to bake them with love, so don't let that be underplayed-make the crackers the star and the dip the supporting actor that brings out the best of your cracker.
Hope this helps. Happy Cooking.

Does the herbacious plant rosemary have a gender?
I see rosemary bushes flowering at professionally landscaped public locations, but mine (purchased at a home improvement store) have never bloomed. Is this a male/female thing? Does maturity have something to do with it?
Does the herbacious plant rosemary have a gender?
It's a maturity thing. Rosemary flowers are (like most other flowering plants) perfect, meaning they have both male and female parts (stamens and pistil).
Also, heavy fertilization (especially with nitrogen) tends to encourage vegetative growth instead of flowering.

Can I keep fresh Rosemary in the refrig for long periods of time?
Year before last I planted a Rosemary bush in my flower bed and it is now twice the size of what I originally planted. I use the herb in many dishes and would like to strip the bush before the end of the growing season. What is the best way of preserving it.
Can I keep fresh Rosemary in the refrig for long periods of time?
the best thing to do is freeze it. Just wash them, then let them dry for a bit, and wrap them up so that they arent stuck together, and seal in an air tight ziplock bag.
you can also freeze them in ice cubes if you do stews or soups. Just throw the ice cube in the stew/soup when you want it, just make sure you adjust the water ammount for the ice cube content %26lt;measure it out before you fill the cube tray%26gt;
Reply:No but Thyme is ok !
Reply:The best thing to do is dry it... That will keep the longest...

What do you do with herbs like rosemary, mint, lavender other than cooking, or making teas?
I have a big garden that grow beautiful rosemary, lavender, oregano, thyme, and mint. I use them for cooking and tea, but of course only a small amount is consumed compared what was grown in the garden. Any suggestions? If you have recipies of making herbal soaps, shampoo, or some kind of natural toner, that will be great! Thanks!
What do you do with herbs like rosemary, mint, lavender other than cooking, or making teas?
Make potpourri, sachets, flavored vinegars, lavender is especially nice used in dried arrangements - just gather up a big bunch with a rubber band, trim the ends and tie a pretty ribbon around it. You can just stand it on a candle plate or by itself once it's dried, OR poke them into a styrofoam ball and make a hanging potpourri/ornament.
Reply:Hang in bunches around kitchen for nice smell
Reply:Mojitos! Best drink in the summer, and a great way to use up some of that mint:
Muddle some mint in a glass
1 part light rum
3 parts Rose's Mojito mix
squeeze of lime
ice
Shake and strain into martini glass with a mint sprig, very refreshing!
Also re: other herbs, I make lavender wreaths and add other dried flowers with hot glue. They last about 2 years.
Good luck!
Reply:Rosemary can be sleep inducing..Youc an put it in your pillow case and it is supposed to induce sleep and give you better sleeping time...You can take lavender and rosemary together and tie in a cloth boil it for about 5 minutes then add to hot water in a running bath for a good skin cleansing, and again if bath is right before bed ..it induces sleep...

Sounds like you have a wonderful herb garden. I have grown thousands of herbs and it is one of my favorite plant families. There are so many different things you can do with herbs. Culinary use of herbs have become so popular over the last few years. So many professional chefs and everyday cooks use basic culinary herbs in a variety of dishes. Rosemary is wonderful on pork or beef roasts. Chives, Thyme and Basil worked wonders in a topping over vegetables, soups or salads. Herbs are wonderful in making vinegar, drying for aroma as well as providing a display in an arrangement. I will link you to the spices and herb section of my website.

Shampoo- Combine a cup of water and 5 tblsp dried herbs or if using fresh herbs use more.Bring to the boil then take off the heat and steep for 20mins.Strain out the herbs and mix the herb liquid with 2/3 cup baby shampoo.
Mint and sage are good for oily hair,Rosemary and chamomile are good for dry hair

Set on a LOW heat until the soap has dissolved.Cool a little then transfer to jars. You can increase the ammount of water if you want a runnier soap.
To make soap from scratch you will need Lye, oil and water but I've never tried it as it sounds very time consuming and risky as far as burning and fumes are concerned.There may be somebody out there that can contradict this.
Chamomile astringent-(toner)
1/2 cup fresh chopped mint
2 tbsp dried chamomile flowers crushed
4 cups water
Combine ingredients in a saucepan, boil 10 mins. Take off the heat and leave 5 mins.Strain into jars and refridgerate . Will keep for 2 weeks.

How do I maintain Lavender and Rosemary if I have them in 2 separate containers in my bedroom?
I want to know what I do with it after it has grown a foot tall. i've been watering it everyday while being in my bedroom. Is lavender low or high maintenance? When is the best time to grow lavender? Is lavender an annual, bi-annual or perennial flower? Just give all the details on how to take care of both lavender and rosemary. Do they require sunshine and atering everyday?
How do I maintain Lavender and Rosemary if I have them in 2 separate containers in my bedroom?
They are both dry climate plants. Need sun to flower. More sun, more flowers. They would survive okay indoor next to the sunniest window but not great. To trim, lavenders grow on new woods, so either trim no more than 2 inches and new flowers will grow from there. However, then the plant will eventually become very big and too leggy to be pretty. The other way is to just give it a big haircut at the end of winter and allow new growths and let the old growths die off. In either case, to have a healthy plant you should still bring it out to the full sun after the trim until it flowers before you bring it back indoor. Or else, it may not flower.
Rosemary is easy. Just clip it anyway you like. However, it too needs a lot of hot sun directly to flower. Let it stay inside if where you are is freezing in the winter, and you will have to bring it out to get sun to flower before you bring it back in. Repeat and you will have a, healthy long flowering plant.
Both like their root balls away from cold and on the dry side.
Water thoroughly for both but definitely let it completely dry out. Especially lavenders. Their leaves need to really dry out or else they can have fungus. Give them some fertilisers at a lighter strength 3-4 times a year. They don't need much. Organic fertilizer to avoid buildups.
Reply:Both lavender and rosemary come from desert-like conditions close to the equatorial areas of the Mediterranean. They loooove hot, dry conditions and hours of sun. If they do not get this, they become leggy and/or fail to grow. If you give them all the sun and air they can possibly have out of doors, they are practically no maintenance, except to pinch back the growth and harvest the lavender stems when ready to dry. I grow mine in large clay pots and water thoroughly every day in the hottest part of the Summer.
Reply:They are both perennial herbs.. Easy to grow, just water every other day and give indirect sun.
Reply:Both lavender and rosemary are perennial herbs and are not really suitable for growing indoors. They can cope with the British winter without flinching (although rosemary is a little more tender and is better with some shelter from the wind).
Is there nowhere outside that you can put them? I can see them getting quite etiolated (which means growing very tall because they are looking for light) indoors. I guess they will be ok if you put them in a sunny position, but then you will have to water them a lot, or they will dry out too quickly.
They really require very little care - in a garden you could just leave them to get on with it and maybe trim them when they get a bit out of hand.

Water thoroughly for both but definitely let it completely dry out. Especially lavenders. Their leaves need to really dry out or else they can have fungus. Give them some fertilisers at a lighter strength 3-4 times a year. They don't need much. Organic fertilizer to avoid buildups.
Reply:Both lavender and rosemary come from desert-like conditions close to the equatorial areas of the Mediterranean. They loooove hot, dry conditions and hours of sun. If they do not get this, they become leggy and/or fail to grow. If you give them all the sun and air they can possibly have out of doors, they are practically no maintenance, except to pinch back the growth and harvest the lavender stems when ready to dry. I grow mine in large clay pots and water thoroughly every day in the hottest part of the Summer.
Reply:They are both perennial herbs.. Easy to grow, just water every other day and give indirect sun.
Reply:Both lavender and rosemary are perennial herbs and are not really suitable for growing indoors. They can cope with the British winter without flinching (although rosemary is a little more tender and is better with some shelter from the wind).
Is there nowhere outside that you can put them? I can see them getting quite etiolated (which means growing very tall because they are looking for light) indoors. I guess they will be ok if you put them in a sunny position, but then you will have to water them a lot, or they will dry out too quickly.
They really require very little care - in a garden you could just leave them to get on with it and maybe trim them when they get a bit out of hand.
Whats the easiest way to chop rosemary?
From time to time I have to finely chop large amounts of rosemary at work. The job is tedious and time consuming but I haven't figured out any way other than just a knife. A food processor just turns the leaves brown and mushy. Anybody got any tips or tricks?
Whats the easiest way to chop rosemary?
The easiest way for you to do this is to get somebody else to do it. Rosemary is hardly a difficult herb to prep, try large amounts of thyme, when plucking it takes forever.
Reply:the rosemary grows up so hold it at the top and pull back going the way againt the little flower things.
Maybe just crushing them with the side of a knife, or a flat bottom cup.
Reply:Pull the opposite way which the rosemary grows. But when you chop, a little Kosher salt to use as an abrasive. Also great for garlic when you want it really pulverized.

How can I propogate a rosemary bush?
I have a really nice rosemary bush and I want more rosemarys in my yard. There doesn't appear to be any seeds. Does it root in water? Or should I plant it in mud and try to grow roots that way?
How can I propogate a rosemary bush?
The previous two posts are correct (and I gave y'all thumbs up) but wanted to add that you can get seedlings started from your existing rosemary. You will have to watch closely once the flowers drop, when you see a small amount of cottony looking fluff where the flower was hold a white bowl under it and rub it with your fingers and very small black seeds will fall into the bowl (and stick to your fingers%26lt;G%26gt;). Scatter the seeds across the top of some damp potting mix and then leave them alone. I mean as in forget about them for a couple of months! Baby rosemary does not want water, fertilizer etc! Once the babies get to around 4" tall you can *carefully* transplant them to individual small pots to grow until ready for bedding (multiple stems around 6-8" long). I started out with one 3" pot from a nursery in 2001 and now have over 40 3ft plants running along my fence line (all started from seed).
Reply:You can propagate rosemary from existing plants by layering. Simply pin down the lower rambling branches of an existing plant to the soil until they root, forming new plants.
Reply:I have loads of rosemary :o) The way to get a new plant is to take a piece from the tip of one of the "spikes" about 4" to 6" long, snip off the leaves close to the cut end until about 3/4" of the stem is exposed, stick it into a rooting powder and let it sit on a counter for three or four hours (this lets the cuts dry out a little to prevent rotting, then put it into a moist, but not wet, potting soil. Keep moist, but not wet until it grows roots and then transplant into your garden! By the way, I just love rosemary bread. What do you use it in?

Will a cutting from a rosemary plant develop roots and grow if planted?
I really don't know much about gardening and I'm just wondering if I can take a cutting of a rosemary plant and get it to grow? I know you can do this with certain types of plants but I can't remember the rule.
Will a cutting from a rosemary plant develop roots and grow if planted?
Taking a cutting from a rosemary is easiest in the summer, if you remember to water it... Just cut a healthy branch tip (6-8") and stick it dirrectly into a garden bed or pot which contains sandy soil. In frost free areas you can also get okay results in the early spring.
I have succeeded at layering rosemary. Leave the branch attached to the plant, but gently bend it over so that the woddy part can immerse in a sandy soil mix (in a pot). Put a rock on top of the part that touches the soil...and wait for around 6 weeks to 3 months for roots to appear. Don't rush it..be patient.
Reply:If you start with a soft cutting you'll probably be able to root it in water or with some rooting hormone. By a soft cutting I mean do not cut into wood, just 6 or 8 inches of green growing tips.
Reply:Hi ! I had a rosemary plant cutting on the window sill in water for about a month and it sprouted a nice root system!
Ive planted it and after 4 days it looks ok I havnt had much luck with rosemary in the past they always grow thin!!
Must be some thing lacking in the soil!
Ive heard that rosemary only grows in the garden of the rightous so maybe this is the problem!!
As far as cuttings go I try with everything! Nothing ventured nothing gained eh!!
Ive had a lot of sucess!
Go for it and Good Luck!!
Reply:two ways to create roots for the rosemary bush one way is to snip some stalks put in a jar of water and create visible roots then plant, or just take fertale stalks and put in ground. Very easy to grow Rosemary.

How do I constitute cracked Rosemary?
I have a Spice Islands bottle of cracked Rosemary so it looks like little twigs about the size of rice grains but thinner. Problems is, it doesn't disolve and retains its woodiness so one cannot just sprinkle it in a dish because it comes out like straw.
I prepared lamb for Thanksgiving and steeped the sauce in rosemary but had to strain it out with a sieve. I'm thinking there must be a better way to flavor food with this rosemary. What am I missing? No directions on the side of the jar.
How do I constitute cracked Rosemary?
That's the normal usage, if you don't want the woody bits, you strain them out. You can try to break them up by hand, crushing them between your palms, before adding. If you have a mortar and pestle, that might be more effective. Some people have a coffee grinder that they dedicate to grinding spices (wouldn't want the coffee beans to taste like spices, so it's best to keep it for only spice grinding use), you might try grinding it up with that, if you have a spare grinder.
Rosemary does come in a ground form, but I haven't seen it available in many places. If your local grocer has a Mexican spice display, you might find a small cellophane envelope of it there. Or check really large groceries, in the spice aisle. Alternatively, you can order it online, here's a link: http://www.spicebarn.com/ground_rosemary... - but I think I'd try to find it locally before doing that.
Reply:When used sparingly, the flavour of rosemary goes well in subtle and delicate dishes such as ice creams, sorbets, fools and fruit salads. The robust and highly aromatic flavour of rosemary can also be used as part of a bouquet garni in soups, stews and casseroles.
Whole sprigs can be added to flavour roasted vegetables. Meat, poultry and game can be spiked with rosemary and it can be chopped and used in stuffings and sauces for fish, lamb or chicken. Some Italian breads are flavoured with rosemary leaves.
Remove leaves or sprigs after cooking; it's also a good idea to crush dried rosemary before adding it to your dish because the sharp leaves can be difficult to remove after cooking.
Reply:Normally you crush them with a mortor and pestle, but I am sure you don't have one, so simply either put it into a coffee grinder if you have one and grind, or a mini processor of some kind. If you don't have any of the afore mentioned, simply put into a small bowl and use something rounded like a salt or pepper shaker that is clean to crush them with, or slip it into a baggie and pound with a meat mallet.
They don't dissolve, they're supposed to be crushed.

Why does my rosemary appear to be drying out?
I bought a beautiful rosemary bush from home depot. Within days of getting it home, it appeared to be drying out. It is watered and the soil is moist, it receives sunlight about 4-6 hours a day, yet it looks awful! All except the very tips look alive. Any suggestions?
Why does my rosemary appear to be drying out?
Sounds like overwatering - causes tips to turn brown. Water only after the soil dries out. Less watering in winter months. Also it needs good soil drainage to prevent root rot. Do not let it sit in a saucer of water or plant it in a pot with no drainage holes.
Reply:Rosemary really does not like the inside of the house. It also is very finicky about how much water you give it. I have yet to successfully grow rosemary indoors. Let the soil dry out completely, then water it, but don't soak it. If you have a protected area outside which will not go below 20F, try putting it out and see if that helps. Humidity is important to rosemary.
Reply:It sounds like you maybe over watering it. They like to be a little on the dry side.

Is there any way to soften rosemary when baked on chicken?
Hi, I need a bit of help here, I am now a mother and very very new to cooking. I made a rosemary chicken dish a couple of months ago and the flavor was very nice. The only problem was that the rosemary was so hard when I ate it. After I tasted my piece I scraped as much rosemary off the other pieces as I could, but it was alot of extra work. Last time I used fresh rosemary Im out of that so this time I would like to use dried rosemary. Ive read that some who cook with it remove it before serving, but I applied it directly to the chicken and to remove it I have to pick off every little piece. Please if there is a technique I dont know about or something I can do to soften the texture so that it isnt so noticible please let me know, thanks!
Is there any way to soften rosemary when baked on chicken?
I would suggest you use it in the stuffing, but just the leaves. You can use several stems as a "brush" to baste the chicken as it cooks.
The heat from the juices will cook the "brush", so it will impart more flavour.
Reply:hi there --
I have taken the dried rosemary and crushed it with coarse kosher salt in a mortar and pestle -- you may not have one, if you are new to cooking, but it's not a bad investment - you can find em online or in big cooking stores, bed bath %26amp; beyond, marshalls or tjmaxx. I have a tiny one cost me less than 5 bux.
If you dont have that, you can put the two items in a plastic bag and pound it on the cutting board with a can of soup or a hammer. The salt crushes the coarse leaves and is a nice addition to the chicken seasoning.
Reply:You either could soak the dried variety and keep basting the chicken and rosemary or you could stab the chicken lightly all over and insert individual slivvers of garlic and sprigs of rosemary.
Reply:leave the rosemary on the stem and place it on top or just under the breast skin of the chicken, or place a bunch in the cavity. most people don't eat it in the fresh stage. it's too woody. If you use dried rosemary - crumble before you use it. Hope this helps
Reply:Yankees Rock has a good answer. My mother gave me some ground rosemary. I asked her about it and she told me bought the rosemary and she ground it herself in the blender. It's great! You don't get any bits of hard dried rosemary.
Also, once ground the flavour comes out more. Just sprinkle it on your chicken or roasts as you would dried parsley or other herbs.
It's easy to store too. Simply put the ground rosemary in one of those smaller plastic containers like Tupperware; you can also store in a purchased or recycled spice container, the kind like a pepper shaker with the holes on top.
Reply:I always take %26amp; sautee the rosemary in a small skillet with olive oil and minced garlic, then brush over the chicken before baking. The rosemary will be tender and tasty......Yummy!
Reply:One of the best things to do to seal in flavor is to cover the dish with foil when you are cooking it. the foil will keep the moisture in which will soften the rosemary. What you really want to do is prep the dried rosemary. Wrap it in a cheesecloth and tie it tightly. Then boil your sachet for about 5 minutes. It's nice to add your other spices in there as well, which allows the flavors to blend nicely. That will soften it, and you can put it directly on your chicken.
Reply:You could always put the rosemary in a food processor with olive oil and make a paste out of it. Then run it in or on the chicken and it gives it more flavor.
Reply:If you grind it in a coffee grinder, you'll enjoy the flavor without the woodiness of the rosemary. Just add the quantity the recipe calls for and grind it and add it as you would the whole.
Reply:Try pouring boiling water on it and letting it soak for a few seconds before using it. Or add it later on when, maybe half way through cooking.
Reply:Butter. Mix the rosemary in soft butter and smooth it over the top of the chicken. Cover in tinfoil until the last 10 minutes of cooking, just enough to brown the skin.

Where can I buy Rosemary in Virginia?
I've been searching around and I can't seem to find it. I need it for cooking purposes. The recipe said I need "chopped fresh rosemary ". Or which stores would typically have rosemary?

I've noticed the Food Lion near me (in Va) also carries some fresh herbs.. not sure if rosemary is one or not, but it may be. They are in the produce section against the wall, near the imitation meat products and chopped salsas, fruits, etc. I believe I may have seen something similar in wal-mart too.

Is it safe to use creeping rosemary from my garden in the kitchen in place of tuscan?
I have two varieties of rosemary in my garden, both of which I bought from Home Depot in the spring. I grow some tuscan (officianlis) rosemary but as it grows slowly I am running out of it. I also grow "creeping rosemary" which is a lot more prolific. When I picked some, it smelled like pine leaves and I am afraid to use it. Is creeping rosemary a true subspecies of rosemary and is it safe to use in the kitchen?
Is it safe to use creeping rosemary from my garden in the kitchen in place of tuscan?
Yes, of course. I use it constantly. Just make sure that you wash it well.

Is 'bottled' or dried rosemary ineffective compare to fresh rosemary. How different are they?
There are reseach out there that says that rosemary is good for the brain. Since, I can't find fresh rosamary in my place and just the typical McCormick rosemary, do you think having a processed rosemary defeats the purpose of having an organic and healthy eating habit? Do you think its effectiveness will decrease because it's not as fresh?
Is 'bottled' or dried rosemary ineffective compare to fresh rosemary. How different are they?
Honestly, I think whoever says rosemary contributes to good brain...whatever, was using rosemary as a herb to smoke rather than cook with. That's my personal feeling...
At anycase, as far as cooking with herbs, fresh is always best. I don't know where you live but maybe you can grow your own herbs... and I do mean the like of rosemary,sage, thyme,parsley, mint, etc... The illegal stuff and your on your own.
Also, I must say I'm surprised you can't find fresh herbs. Ask your grocer to bring in fresh herbs in the produce area...You can do that you know.
As for the difference, if you use dried herbs, you use more because it's dried up some of the potentcy of the oils in the herbs. Use fresh, use less.
Good luck and happy cooking!!!
Reply:I LOVE Rosemary and I find fresh I SO much better than the dried to the point that I won't even use the dried. There is NO comparison between the two when it comes to taste. Effectiveness, they are both the same in nutrients and things like that, but when it comes to flavor the fresh is so much better.
I don't think it's effectiveness will change, it's just the flavor will be stronger, you will have to use less being it's dried and the taste may be different. For me, I find the fresh much better than the dried.
If you can, go to a local farmer's market, or ask your supermarket manager if he's going to get it in. Usually most markets have fresh rosemary, it's over by the produce section with the other herbs. There's a chance they were sold out. I know my markets carry it, but sometimes they're just sold out when I go. I would ask and see if that's the case. They may just start carrying it if they know there's an interest for it.
Reply:anything fresh is better ..... You can probably find it where the lettuce is in the produce section. But rosemary is one of the very easiest plants to grow (and nearly impossible to kill). Grow some in a pot (or in the ground), and you'll have more than enough! I put it into the garbage disposal; in all the trash cans; and sprigs go into everything I cook!
Reply:Rosemary actually holds up its flavor better than most dried herbs. Thyme would be another. (unlike Basil or Mint that loses most of its flavor)
Grow your own. I have some in my garden that I bring indoors for the winter. Easy to care for.
Reply:Definitely. Just like the taste is different.
