Rosemary is an evergreen bush with grey-green needle shaped leaves and small pale blue flowers. It has a strong penetrating aroma which is produced by the whole plant and is probably one of the best known herbs. It was used by the ancient Egyptians and was considered sacred by the Greeks and Romans. It was even used during the Middles Ages to ward off evil spirits and to protect against the plague.
