Sage is a native of the arid areas of southern Europe. The variety used in cooking is the nonflowering, broad-leafed sage. It has a very powerful flavour and can be used fresh or dried.

Perennial herb belonging to the mint family, with grey-green aromatic leaves used for flavouring in cookery. It grows up to 50 cm/20 in high and has bluish-lilac or pink flowers. (Salvia officinalis, family Labiatae.)

Sage oil was found 1995 to inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is thought to contribute to the memory loss characteristic of Alzheimer's disease.
