Amplify’d from www.realsimple.com

A mainstay of Mediterranean cuisine, sage has a pungent flavor and aroma variously described as musky, minty, and slightly floral. Season: Year-round.

How to Choose Sage Select fragrant, vibrant green gray leaves with no signs of wilting, browning, or other damage.

How to Store Sage Roll sage in a damp paper towel and refrigerate in a tightly closed plastic bag for up to 4 days.

How to Prepare Sage Wash leaves just before using, pat dry, then slice. Prevent bruising by using a sharp knife and cutting just before serving. To slice many leaves at once, stack them, roll them up lengthwise (like a cigar), and slice crosswise. —Melinda Page
