Sage has a long history of use as a spice and for health purposes. It was used as a traditional herbal remedy in ancient Greece and Rome, as well as in Native American and Chinese medicine. Today, sage is promoted for sore mouth or throat, memory loss, diabetes, high cholesterol levels, and other conditions.

In cooking the flavour is pungent and aromatic to compliment meats, vegetables and grains like polenta.
