The plant is grown for its aromatic leaves, which are used as seasoning. Sage is essential for Italian Veal Saltimbocca or just add some fresh leaves to butter, saute and toss with pasta. Also use in sauces and stuffings for fatty meats such as goose, duck, pork and sausage.
In Medieval Times, growing sage for medicinal and culinary purposes was common. Its Latin family name, Salvia, means "to save" or "salvation" and is also the root word of salve.
