Sage leaves, native to the Mediterranean region, are aromatic and widely used in Western, Middle Eastern, and Italian cuisines for their earthy, savory flavor. Rich in nutrients, they contain vitamins A, C, and K, along with essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Sage is celebrated for its antioxidant properties, thanks to compounds like rosmarinic acid, which may reduce inflammation and support brain health. It's also known for aiding digestion and boosting the immune system. While fresh sage is often incorporated into dishes like poultry, soups, and stuffing, its dried form is a staple seasoning. Though generally healthy, sage should be consumed in moderation, especially in concentrated forms, as high doses of thujone—a naturally occurring compound—may pose health risks if overused. Sage leaves combine culinary versatility with potential health benefits, making them a prized herb in both cooking and wellness traditions worldwide.
