About Sage

This sage has all the flavor of the broken leaf, minus the inconvenience of the larger particulates.

It can be added directly to sauces, rubs, and stews without having to strain it. Be sure to use a light hand though, as a little of our freshly dried rubbed sage goes a long way.

History

During ancient times, sage was used for a variety of purposes, including warding off evil spirits. In fact, sage has been recommended for almost every condition, at one point in time or another.

Today, sage is used mostly as a culinary herb. It is one of the essential herbs of British cuisine and is widely used throughout the world for its warm, savory, and peppery flavor.

In addition to its culinary uses, sage is believed to have medicinal properties, as well. Sage holds a reputation as a digestive and nerve tonic.

Sage is a great herb, but it should be used with care. It has been shown that sage taken in too large of quantities can produce adverse health issues. An overdose of sage can produce excessive perspiration and fainting spells.
