Sage

Sage is a native Mediterranean herb used for both its culinary and medicinal uses. The leaves are narrow, oval shaped with a gray-green color and have a pungent, slightly bitter taste and aroma. There are several varieties of sage most of which are used in cooking. Sage is usually used in poultry, pork and game dishes.

Sage can be found worldwide, fresh, in small bunches or dried. Store fresh sage wrapped in a paper towel in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Like all herbs, dried sage should be stored in a cool, dark place for no more than 6 months.
