Sage Bunch 100gr

Sage is a popular, beloved Mediterranean shrub with many varieties. It grows up to 1m in height, has broad light green leaves and small purple flowers, and grows in rocky areas. It has an intense, woody aroma and a bitter taste, and is used not only as an infusion but also as a seasoning in many cooking recipes, capable of turning a simple dish into a gourmet one.

We mainly use sage to make an infusion. Steep sage leaves in a cup of hot water for 10 minutes. It's quite a bitter herb, and if left too long in the hot water it will become bitter. Strain, serve, add lemon, honey or your preferred sweetener and enjoy.

Sage flavors dishes with meat, pasta, poultry, veal, risotto, fish, pork, pickles, and also flavors red sauces, pesto, oil and vinegar. It pairs well with fried liver, omelettes, polenta, and legume dishes like beans and hummus.
