Product Description
There are over 900 varieties of sage plant, each with a distinctive taste and appearance. Salvia officinalis --Latin for "healing powers" and also known as garden sage--is the sage most often stocked in the kitchen. A member of the mint ( Lamiaceae ) family, it's a perennial with silvery grey-green, fuzzy leaves. For culinary purposes, sage is available cut and sifted and rubbed (cut and put through a sieve, rendering it fluffy, almost like cotton).Sage is highly aromatic and fragrant, and the taste is pungent and slightly bitter--a bit medicinal and piney. It's enjoyed in Greek and European cuisines. The Italians are especially fond of sage, and use it with poultry and meats--in particular a veal dish made with sage and white wine. You'll also find sage in sausages, processed meats, and, of course, stuffing recipes.
