Dried sage

Dried sage is an aromatic herb commonly used in cooking for its intense and slightly bitter flavor, with earthy notes and a slight minty touch. Originating from the Mediterranean, especially regions like Italy and Spain, sage has been a fundamental ingredient in traditional cuisine for centuries.

This dried herb is highly valued for its ability to enhance the flavor of meat dishes, especially poultry, pork, and lamb, as well as in stews, soups, and sauces. Additionally, dried sage is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and digestive properties, helping to improve digestion and reduce inflammation.

In different regions of Latin America, dried sage may be called common sage or simply sage. It is also important not to confuse it with other similar-looking herbs, such as oregano or thyme, although its flavor is unique and distinctive.

Its dried form is ideal for preserving it longer and concentrating its flavor, making it an essential ingredient in many traditional and contemporary recipes.
