Production & Sourcing
Harvesting: Fresh sage leaves are harvested from the sage plant. Ideally, leaves are collected just before the plant blooms, as this is when their flavor is most concentrated.
Cleaning: The harvested sage leaves are carefully cleaned to remove any dirt, debris, or insects.
Drying: The cleaned sage leaves are spread out in a single layer to dry. This can be done using various methods, such as air drying, oven drying, or using a food dehydrator. The leaves need to be exposed to circulating air to allow the moisture to evaporate naturally.
Even Drying: The leaves need to be turned occasionally during the drying process to ensure even drying and prevent mold growth.
Complete Drying: Drying can take several days to a week, depending on the drying method and environmental conditions. The leaves are considered fully dried when they are brittle and crumble easily when touched.
Crushing and Storage: Once the sage leaves are completely dried, they are gently crushed or crumbled to break them into smaller pieces.

Benefits
Dried sage is characterized by its earthy, savory, and slightly peppery flavor. It has a distinct aroma that is often associated with comfort and warmth. The flavor intensifies when sage is dried, making it a potent herb in cooking.
Dried sage has a brittle and crumbly texture due to the removal of moisture during the drying process. Its leaves can easily be crushed between your fingers, releasing the aromatic oils and flavor.
Dried sage leaves typically retain a muted, grayish-green color. The vibrant green of fresh sage fades as the herb dries, but this change in color doesn’t affect its flavor or culinary applications.
Dried sage is a nutrient-dense herb, rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It contains vitamins like vitamin K, as well as essential minerals such as iron and calcium. Additionally, sage contains compounds with potential health benefits, such as rosmarinic acid and flavonoids.
Dried sage has very low moisture content due to the drying process, which removes water from the leaves. This low moisture content can make dried sage a useful ingredient for adding flavor to dishes without introducing excess moisture. It can also help with binding in certain recipes, particularly when combined with other dry ingredients.
The aroma of dried sage is potent and aromatic. When crushed or crumbled, the dried leaves release their essential oils, which contribute to the herb’s distinct scent. This aroma enhances the overall sensory experience of dishes and is often associated with cozy and comforting foods.
Dried sage adds depth and complexity to dishes, providing a balancing contrast to rich and fatty flavors. Its savory and slightly bitter notes can help cut through the richness of meats, creamy sauces, and starchy dishes like stuffing and mashed potatoes.
Sage has a long history of culinary and medicinal use, and it has cultural significance in various cuisines. It’s particularly prominent in Mediterranean and Italian cooking, where it’s used to enhance the flavor of pasta dishes, roasted meats, and soups. Additionally, sage is a key ingredient in traditional Thanksgiving stuffing in many Western cultures.
Sage is generally considered safe for consumption when used in culinary amounts. However, in large quantities or in concentrated forms, such as essential oil, sage can have potential health effects. Some compounds in sage, like thujone, can be toxic when consumed in excessive amounts. Pregnant or nursing individuals and those with certain medical conditions should exercise caution and avoid consuming large quantities of sage or sage products. Always consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns about dietary choices.
