Sage, also known as Salvia officinalis, is a perennial plant with rough, wrinkled, and downy leaves. It is an evergreen, bushy shrub that produces short spikes of purplish-blue flowers. The plant is known for its slightly stimulating properties, and tea brewed from its leaves has been used as a tonic for centuries. Sage is a popular herb for cooking, adding a unique, slightly peppery flavor to dishes. It is also grown as an ornamental plant for its pretty, purple flowers and aromatic leaves. The plant is drought-tolerant and can handle long, hot summers and lengthy periods of little water. Sage is native to the Mediterranean region and is used fresh or dried as a flavoring in many foods, particularly in stuffings for poultry and pork, and in sausages. It has a long history of medicinal and culinary use, and its extracts have been suggested to have positive effects on memory.
