Dried crushed sage is made from the dried leaves of the sage plant. Its aroma is pungent, earthy, and slightly musty. It has a strong, savory, slightly bitter flavor that is often described as somewhat peppery with a hint of mint.
The taste can change slightly when heated, as the oils in the sage can become more concentrated, resulting in a stronger flavor. Sage is commonly used in Mediterranean and European cuisine. Some popular dishes that feature dried crushed sage include stuffing, sausage, and roasted meats.
It is also commonly used to season sauces, soups, and stews.
