Dried rosemary retains the robust, piney, resinous flavour of fresh rosemary remarkably well, making it one of the better-performing dried herbs. Per tablespoon it provides excellent vitamin K, useful iron, calcium, and manganese, plus rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid — antioxidants that are stable to heat and preserved through drying.
Dried rosemary needles are hard and can be unpleasant to eat whole; crumble or chop finely before adding, or infuse in oil and remove. Add early in long-cooked dishes.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
