Herb Guide: Choosing, Storing and Cooking

This hardy, antioxidant-packed herb has intensely fragrant, needle-like leaves that add woodsy flavor to dishes. Buy sprigs of rosemary that are fresh-looking with a deep sage green color and free from yellow or dark marks. Store it in the fridge wrapped in a slightly damp paper towel.Chopped fresh rosemary combined with salt, pepper and garlic makes a fantastic rub for meat.

Tip: Prep by running your fingers down from the top of the stem to strip off the leaves.
