Ground dried sage is a powdered version of the dried leaves of the sage plant (Salvia officinalis), an aromatic herb highly valued in Mediterranean and global cuisine for its distinctive flavor and culinary properties. It has an intense aroma and a slightly bitter, earthy taste, with nuances reminiscent of eucalyptus and camphor, making it ideal for seasoning meats, stews, soups, sauces, and vegetable-based dishes.
Origin: Sage is native to the Mediterranean region, particularly Southern Europe, but is now cultivated in many parts of the world. Traditionally, it has been used both in gastronomy and natural medicine.
Properties: Ground dried sage not only adds flavor but also possesses antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. It is attributed with beneficial effects for digestion and controlling perspiration. It is a low-calorie spice rich in bioactive compounds like essential oils and flavonoids.
Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: Although the most common term is salvia seca molida, in some countries it may also be known simply as salvia molida or salvia seca. However, there are no other significantly different popular names, as sage is generally recognized by its universal name.
