Sage is part of a well-stocked pantry as its a great ally for adding extra flavor to your dishes. This herb is identified by its narrow, oval, gray-green leaves. Fresh sage is slightly bitter and has a musty, mint taste and aroma that’s hard to miss if you break or chop it. Depending on the season and the growing cycles, sage leaves will range from 1.25” to almost 3″ inches in length. Sage herbs should always have a high leaf-to-stem ratio, a true sign of quality produce.
