Sage is a fragrant herb native to the Mediterranean region, widely used in culinary and medicinal applications. It offers a slightly earthy, peppery flavor and pairs well with meats, soups, and stuffing, making it a staple in European and North American cuisines. Rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids and phenolic acids, sage may help combat oxidative stress and support immune health. It is also a source of vitamins like K and small amounts of magnesium and zinc, contributing to bone and metabolic health. Sage has been traditionally used to aid digestion and help with inflammation. Despite its benefits, consumption of sage oil or excessive amounts of raw sage should be avoided due to its high concentration of thujone, a compound that can be toxic in large doses. Moderation ensures sage remains a flavorful and healthful addition to your diet.
