Current Facts
Sage makes up many different varieties with different characteristics both culinary and ornamental. The best culinary sages are the plain narrow-leafed and non-flowering broad-leaved types, any sound specimen known as common or garden sage.
Description/Taste
Sage is a perennial herb with long, gray green, narrow and slightly furred leaves that offer a warm musty intense herbaceousness. Its tendency to release a potent camphor aroma gives this herb the reputation to use it sparingly.
Applications
Sage is often used with either strong, meaty flavors or subtle flavor companions that enhance its distinct, woody characteristics. Pair fresh or dried sage with root vegetables, poultry, fresh herbs, winter squash, mushrooms, cheeses, breads, apples and cured pork. To store, keep cool and dry until ready to use.
Ethnic/Cultural Info
The word sage means 'save' and refers to its original medicinal uses. It was originally used to heal wounds cure ailments as early as the Middle Ages.
