Direct uses and industrial applications
Since it has been described as a herb, like parley, rosemary an thyme, Sage can also be used for culinary recipes. It has a savory, slightly peppery flavor. In Italian cooking it is an important seasoning for saltimbocca as well as other dishes. In British and American cooking, it is traditionally served as sage and onion stuffing, which accompanies roast turkey or chicken at Christmas or Thanksgiving.
It is also grown in Europe in order to get its essencial oil.
