The long, needle-like herb is also tough and uncomfortable to eat whole in uncooked dishes. Crushing makes it more palatable so you can fully enjoy the flavour of the rosemary. The herb is typically sold whole since crushing shortens the storage life of the rosemary.
You don't need an herb grinder or other expensive kitchen implement to crush rosemary; crush it at home using common kitchen utensils. Place the dried rosemary into a heavy-duty storage bag. I love the scent of rosemary and oregano, so I decided to grind up some fresh sprigs that had been drying for a few days in a beautiful bowl I made in a pottery class.
There is something fragrant and soothing about grinding your own fresh herbs, and it will make you excited to experiment with new dishes in the kitchen. So grinding fresh herbs might seem pointless and time-consuming for people who want to spend their time doing other things, but it can be quite rewarding for people who enjoy cooking and spending time in the kitchen.
It takes awhile to take all the herbs off the branches to grind, especially when you have a pound worth of herbs. Try grinding a few more herbs if you feel comfortable, but do not overload the grinder. Finely ground rosemary and Greek oregano looks beautiful in a canning jar.
It took about an hour to grind up the organic rosemary and Greek oregano, but the effort was worth it. People pay quite a bit of money to purchase organic ground herbs at the store, so why not make your own! I love grinding fresh herbs from my mom's garden, and these definitely compliment the lovely dishes I like to make from scratch. If you are investing the time in making a lovely soup or homemade mash potatoes, I assure you these will taste much better with freshly ground rosemary.
The texture of the finely ground rosemary and Greek oregano was not uniform since I pulsed some batches more than others. I love fresh herbs and your instructions for grinding rosemary and oregano make me think that I am going to try this.
Thanks, Sweetie Pie We have lots of rosemary, oregano and other herbs growing in our yard so could easily make this. I have dried herbs in a low slow oven in the past. Just today on a cooking show called The Kitchen I heard of a great way to clean a coffee grinder so that it does not flavor the next thing one might wish to grind.
Use old chunks of stale bread and whir it around for about 60 seconds and then wipe out with a damp cloth. That way one can grind herbs, coffee, seeds and other things and not have each flavored with the other. You are really great at putting those YouTube videos together! Simply boil water and add your rosemary to the water. Allow it to steep for min. The water can then be used for a rinse for a cleansing rinse, a treatment for shine, a treatment for dandruff or for calp irritation. Dried Rosemary is typically whole and has not been crushed.
Both whole and crushed Rosemary is dried. Rosemary essential oil has been found to increase the growth of new hair by 22 percent when massaged onto the scalp. It works by stimulating scalp circulation and can be used to grow longer hair, prevent baldness or stimulate new hair growth in balding areas. However, their tough, woody texture makes them unpalatable.
Dried rosemary, readily available throughout the year, is an extremely good substitute for a fresh one during winter season when fresh herbs could be rare at your local grocery. Rosemary contains ursolic acid which helps to increase scalp circulation — this means more oxygen and nutrients will be sent right to your hair follicles, and that in turn promotes healthy hair growth.
This aromatic herb has been traditionally known to darken gray and also slow the appearance of grey hairs. Properly stored, dried rosemary leaves will generally stay at best quality for about 1 to 3 years.

When a spice is said to have gone bad, it simply means that it has lost most of its flavor, potency, and color. Fortunately, consuming a spice that has gone bad is unlikely to make you sick. Fresh rosemary is easiest to use because the leaves are soft and pliable. Hang the bundles in a warm, dry area until the needles start to fall off, then remove the leaves by rubbing the stem upwards over a bowl or bag.
A sprig is generally defined as a 2- to 4-inch piece of the herb plant. Dried herbs are easy to keep on hand, and they are at least as beneficial as fresh, if not more so, because the drying process actually concentrates the polyphenols and flavors. When buying dried herbs, get them in small quantities that you can use up in less than a year, because their flavor fades with time.
Rosemary may seem like an interesting herb to include in a sleep pillow, but it actually is a lovely addition. Unlike the previous herbs, rosemary actually helps you have vivid dreams. For many people, sleep ideally is a time to cope with our daily lives. Because of their volatile oil content, large quantities of rosemary leaves can cause serious side effects, including vomiting, spasms, coma and, in some cases, pulmonary edema fluid in the lungs.
Clinical significance. Rosemary powder and its essential oil were able to prevent or reduce the severity of DEN-induced kidney injury, and hence, rosemary is strongly recommended to be used it as a nutraceutical or dietary supplement.
