Garden sage, also known as common sage, is an Old World culinary herb found in
many kitchen gardens and pantries.
Like powdered sage, the whole leaf is used in
cooking. It’s especially good gently heated in butter to make a sauce to dress
pumpkin ravioli. Whole sage leaf is also tinctured, added to tea blends and used
to produce infusions to make a color-enhancing and conditioning rinse for dark
colored hair.
