Organic Cracked Rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis, is also called organic rosemary leaves, organic rosemary, or organic dried rosemary. It has an essential oil content of .5% to 2.5%.

The three most common “cuts” of rosemary are whole, cracked, and ground. Organic Cracked Rosemary is whole rosemary that has been ground to reduce the one-inch needles into smaller pieces. Whole needles can be hard, pointy, and difficult to work with. Cracked rosemary is better to use in blends, and has a shorter cooking time. We also carry conventional Cracked Rosemary, and conventional Ground Rosemary. 

Organic Cracked Rosemary is popular with seasoning companies; independent spice shops; olive oil shops; barbecue and hotel restaurants; gluten-free bread and flour manufacturers; and distillers.
