Description

Sage is a widely used herb in Crete, celebrated for its distinctive aroma and medicinal properties. It is utilized both as a herbal infusion and as a seasoning in cooking. The dried herb can be prepared as a tea or decoction to address oral and throat inflammations, common colds, and digestive issues. Traditionally, sage is valued as a tonic, nerve stimulant, digestive aid, diuretic, and cough suppressant.

With a subtly bitter and strongly aromatic profile, sage is a favorite in Italian cuisine, where it complements dishes featuring pork, duck, sausages, and lard by reducing the perception of fattiness. Due to its potent aroma, it is used sparingly and does not always blend well with milder herbs.

Sage pairs excellently with fried rabbit, shrimp, fatty fish like eel, and beans. In Cretan cuisine, it is used for smoking sausages, adding a unique flavor to traditional dishes.

Discover the aromatic and healthful benefits of sage in your culinary and wellness practices.
