Sage Leaf

Sage Leaf (Salvia officinalis) – cut and sifted – is a staple bulk herb for both the kitchen and the homestead apothecary. A member of the mint family, sage has deep roots in the Mediterranean but has spread worldwide, thriving in monastery gardens in medieval England and even lending itself to famous herbal preparations such as Four Thieves Vinegar. Its very name comes from the Latin salvare, meaning “to save,” a reflection of its long-held importance.
