Todd's Rubbed Sage (1.2 oz)

Rubbed sage is a culinary herb commonly used as a spice to add flavor and aroma to various dishes. It is derived from the dried leaves of the Salvia officinalis plant, a member of the mint family. The leaves are harvested, dried, and then crumbled or "rubbed" to create the characteristic texture and appearance.

The flavor of rubbed sage is earthy, slightly peppery, and herbaceous. It has a distinctively warm and savory taste with subtle hints of pine and citrus. The aroma is fragrant and aromatic, reminiscent of the Mediterranean region where sage is widely used in traditional cuisine.

Rubbed sage is a versatile spice that pairs well with a variety of foods. It is often used in seasoning poultry, such as roast turkey or chicken, to enhance the natural flavors. It is also a common ingredient in stuffing or dressing, imparting a rich and savory taste. Additionally, it can be added to vegetable dishes, soups, stews, and sauces to provide depth and complexity.

When using rubbed sage as a spice, it is important to remember that a little goes a long way. Its flavor can be quite potent, so it is recommended to start with a small amount and adjust according to taste. It is commonly available in most grocery stores, both in its dried leaf form and as a ground powder.
