What it is
A strong, aromatic culinary herb used in leaves and rubbed dried form.
Plain-language buying tip
Choose fresh leaves for frying, butter, and stuffing; choose rubbed sage for easy distribution in sausage and dressing.
Forms and use
Use modestly with poultry, beans, squash, browned butter, and rich fillings.
Common forms include fresh leaves, dried rubbed leaf, ground. Match the form to the job: visible ingredient, even distribution, or a slow infusion you can strain.

Keep dried sage tightly sealed, cool, dark, and dry.
Quick questions
What should I check before buying Sage?
