The soft, yet sweet savory flavor of sage along with its wonderful
health-promoting properties is held in such high esteem that the
International Herb Association awarded sage the title of "Herb of the
Year" in 2001! Fresh, dried whole or powdered, sage is available
throughout the year.
Sage leaves are grayish green in color with a silvery bloom
covering. They are lance-shaped and feature prominent veins running
throughout. Sage has been held in high regard throughout history both
for it culinary and medicinal properties. Its reputation as a panacea
is even represented in its scientific name, Salvia officinalis, derived
from the Latin word, salvere, which means "to be saved."
