Sage

Sage is a herb that comes from the mint family, known for its strong and earthy flavour. It is commonly used in cooking to add depth and aroma to dishes. Sage is mainly grown in the Mediterranean region but is now cultivated in many places around the world.

To produce sage, the leaves of the sage plant are harvested and dried. Once dried, the leaves are often ground into a powder or used whole in cooking. Sage can also be infused into oils or teas for a more concentrated flavour. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both fresh and dried forms.

Sage appears on food labels because of its distinctive flavour that enhances the taste of various dishes. It is commonly found in sausage seasonings, stuffings, and poultry dishes like roast chicken. Sage is also used in sauces, soups, and vegetable dishes to add a savoury and warm flavour. Its presence on food labels indicates that the product might have a herby or aromatic taste.
