Salvia officinalis has been used since ancient times for warding off evil, snakebites, increasing women’s fertility, and more. The Romans referred to sage as the “holy herb,” and employed it in their religious rituals. Most Americans think of it as the thing that gives sausage that sausage flavor. But beyond burning it or stuffing it inside of casings with ground up bits of meat, it’s actually quite useful in cooking.
The sage plant has elegant leaves and delicate flowers, and has been known throughout history as a medicinal plant to healing properties. The fact that it can heal what ails you, and has that wonderful savory quality is one of the reasons we chose it for the logo to Uppie’s Kitchen.
