Sage leaves can be used as a culinary spice, a tea infusion, or an extract by macerating them.
For millennia, people have known about and used common garden sage as a food and medicine. Nearly all European cuisines employ this low-growing evergreen shrub to flavor various proteins, soups, puddings, cheeses, and vegetables. Because of its distinctive peppery flavor, it is frequently used in stuffing and other heartier meals. Considering that sage flourishes in his garden, why should a man die? The herb's Latin name, Salvia, which is derived from the Latin word for heal, reflects the question Martin Luther is credited with posing in the middle centuries.
Sage, one of the more widely used herbs from the Middle Ages through the 18th century, has fallen out of favor as people have started to prefer more delicate flavors. Due in large part to the numerous uses and advantages of the evergreen plant, it has recently experienced a renaissance.
