Sage is an herb that is commonly used in cooking, particularly in European and Mediterranean cuisine. It has a slightly bitter, earthy flavor and a strong aroma. Sage is typically used in small quantities, as its flavor can be quite overpowering if used excessively.

Sage is often used to flavor meat dishes, particularly poultry and pork, as well as in stuffings and dressings. It can also be used in soups, stews, and sauces, and is sometimes used to flavor breads and pastries.

In addition to its culinary uses, sage has been used for its medicinal properties for centuries. It has been used to treat a variety of ailments, including digestive issues, sore throat, and memory loss. However, the medicinal use of sage is not supported by modern medical research and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice.

Sage can be found fresh or dried in most grocery stores or online, and can also be grown in a home garden. It should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to maintain its flavor.
