About

Originário da bacia do Mediterrâneo, o alecrim (Rosmarinus officinalis) é um arbusto perene e lenhoso de folha persistente, de porte denso e altamente resistente à seca. Numa floresta comestível, integra o estrato arbustivo baixo, desempenhando um papel fundamental na atração de insetos polinizadores devido à sua floração prolongada. Adicionalmente, a elevada concentração de óleos essenciais nas suas folhas atua como um repelente natural de pragas, auxiliando na proteção biológica das espécies vizinhas.
