Sage
Sage (Salvia officinalis) is a perennial herb from the mint family, widely used for its culinary, medicinal, and ornamental properties.
Its leaves are gray-green, slightly fuzzy, and have a strong, earthy aroma with a bitter, astringent taste.
Sage is commonly used to flavor meats, sauces, and stuffing, particularly in Mediterranean cuisine. In traditional medicine, it is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, often used to aid digestion and treat sore throats. Sage thrives in warm, well-drained soils and is drought-tolerant.
