Rosemary - Spray Free

Rosemary is from Twin River Farms. Rosemary is used as a seasoning in a variety of dishes, such as soups, casseroles, salads, and stews.

To strip the rosemary leaves from the stem, pull the needles in the opposite direction from which they grow and they should easily slide off the stalk.
