SAGE

Sage originally came from the north shore of the Mediterranean Sea. The Latin name for the plant comes from salvare, which means to heal, since sage was used for its medicinal properties for a long time. In Canada, certain Native peoples mixed it with bear fat to cure skin diseases. Today it is better known as an aromatic plant and used to add flavor to veal, pork, tuna and tomato sauce.
