Healthy Food Database - Sage
This hardy, grey-leaved perennial herb has a strong, distinct flavour reminiscent of mixed herbs. It grows easily in fairly dry conditions.
Fresh sage does not keep well after picking, as the leaves quickly become limp. Buy dried sage from good food stores and specialty retailers for use in slow-cooked dishes.
Store freshly-picked sage for a short time only in a jar of water in the fridge, with a clean plastic bag pulled down over the leaves. Store dried sage in an airtight container away from heat and light.
