sage in a bowl 10g

Sage is indigenous to Dalmatia, where its woody shrubs can cover entire slopes. Dried sage leaves have a strong, pleasant aroma and a bitter, pine-like taste with a pronounced earthy note. It is excellent as a spice for meat dishes, especially lamb and poultry; for preparing omelets and various sauces. It is an ideal addition to hearty winter dishes because it can retain its flavor and works incredibly well with fatty foods because its bitterness helps digest fat. Sage can be added early in the cooking process, or the leaves can be fried briefly to spice up the finished dish.
