Our Fresh Garden Sage features soft, silvery-green leaves with a velvety, slightly fuzzy texture. It has a powerful, savory aroma and a flavor that is peppery, earthy, and slightly minty with hints of pine. A classic herb for rich, fatty meats like pork and poultry, it is famous for its use in sausages and holiday stuffings. Its flavor can be strong, so it is used with a knowing hand. Fried sage leaves make a wonderfully crisp and flavorful garnish.
