Fresh Organic Sage Leaves - Purple Sage from California - Wildcrafted Sage Leaves

Description

What is Purple Sage?

Purple sage, often referred to as Salvia officinalis ‘Purpurascens’ or purple-leaved sage, is a variety of common sage (Salvia officinalis) that is known for its distinctive purple-colored foliage.
 
The only difference between common sage and purple sage lies in the color of the leaves.
 
Purple sage is a visually striking variation with ornamental appeal, and its culinary uses and potential medicinal properties are generally comparable to those of common sage.
 
Whether you choose common sage or purple sage may depend on your preference for traditional green herbs or a desire to add a pop of color to your culinary creations.
 

How to Enjoy Fresh Organic Sage Leaves?

Fresh organic sage leaves have many delicious health benefits and many ways to enjoy them and incorporate them into your life.

Here are a few ideas for including more fresh organic sage in your meals:

Fresh organic sage leaves are aromatic and flavorful herbs commonly used in cooking, particularly in Mediterranean and Italian cuisines.
 

Sage has a savory, earthy, and slightly peppery taste. It adds both flavor and visual interest to dishes. 

  1. Sauteing with fresh sage: Add fresh sage leaves to a hot pan with butter or olive oil and sauté them until they become crispy. This is a great way to enhance the flavor of dishes like pasta or risotto.

  2. Stuffing with fresh sage: Fresh sage leaves can be used to flavor and stuff meats, such as poultry or pork. Simply place whole leaves or minced sage in the cavity of the meat before cooking.

  3. Air-drying sage: Tie a bunch of sage stems together and hang them in a cool, dry place. Once dried, you can crumble the leaves and store them in an airtight container. Dried sage is often used in seasoning blends, stuffings, and soups.

  4. Sage-infused oil: Heat olive oil in a pan and add fresh organic sage leaves. Allow the leaves to infuse the oil with their flavor. Remove the leaves and use the sage-infused oil for drizzling over dishes or as a base for dressings.

  5. Sage herb butter: Mix minced fresh sage leaves into softened butter along with other herbs and spices. This sage-infused butter can be used to enhance the flavor of roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or bread.

  6. Organic sage herbal tea: Steep fresh or dried sage leaves in hot water to make a soothing and aromatic herbal tea. Sage tea is known for its potential health benefits.

  7. Roasting with fresh sage: Place whole sage leaves on top of roasts or in a roasting pan to infuse the meat with flavor.

  8. Grilling with fresh sage: Use sage leaves as a flavorful addition to grilled meats or vegetables. They can be added directly to the grill or placed on skewers with other ingredients.

  9. Fresh sage pesto: Create a sage pesto by blending fresh sage leaves with nuts (such as pine nuts or walnuts), garlic, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. This can be used as a sauce for pasta, as a spread, or as a topping for grilled meats.

Remember to adjust the quantity of fresh organic sage based on your personal taste preferences, as it has a strong flavor. Additionally, the culinary uses of sage can vary across different cuisines, so feel free to experiment and discover new ways to incorporate this versatile herb into your cooking.

Health Benefits of Fresh Organic Sage Leaves:

Sage (Salvia officinalis) has a long history of traditional use for various medicinal purposes, and some studies suggest that it may offer certain health benefits.

Keep in mind that while sage can be a valuable addition to a healthy lifestyle, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before using it as a remedy, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking medications.

Here are some potential medicinal benefits of fresh organic sage leaves:

  1. Cognitive function: Some research suggests that sage may have cognitive-enhancing properties. It has been traditionally used to improve memory and concentration.

  2.  Antioxidant properties: Sage contains compounds with antioxidant properties, such as flavonoids and phenolic acids. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals in the body, which may contribute to the prevention of oxidative stress and inflammation.

  3. Anti-inflammatory effects: Sage has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is linked to various chronic conditions, and compounds in sage may help modulate inflammatory responses in the body.

  4. Antimicrobial activity: Sage has demonstrated antimicrobial properties, and it has been used traditionally to help fight infections. Some studies suggest that sage extracts may have antibacterial and antifungal effects.

  5. Menopausal symptoms: Sage has been explored for its potential to alleviate menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats.

  6. Digestive health: Sage has been traditionally used to support digestive health. It may help soothe digestive issues and improve appetite. Drinking sage tea is a common way to harness these potential benefits.

  7. Anti-diabetic effects: Some studies have suggested that sage may have a role in managing diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing blood sugar levels.

  8. Oral health: Sage has been used traditionally for oral health. Its antimicrobial properties may help combat bacteria in the mouth, potentially contributing to improved oral hygiene. Sage mouthwash or gargling with sage tea are common practices for this purpose.

It’s important to note that while sage may offer potential health benefits, not all claims are conclusively supported. As with any herbal remedy, moderation is key, and consulting with a healthcare professional is advisable, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.

Why Buy Fresh Sage Leaves?

It is completely fine to choose dried versions for the majority of herbs, but most chefs and herbalists would agree that most herbs are better tasting and more effective medicinally when they are fresh.

Depending on the harvesting and drying process, as well as storage time and conditions prior to use, the nutritional and medicinal properties of the herb might be reduced or destroyed.

The essential oils and medicinal components of many herbs are at peak levels when the herb is fresh rather than dried. For many herbalists the freshness of the harvested herbs is critical for their formulas.

Why Buy Organic Sage Leaves?

Organically grown herbs are grown without chemicals and preservatives and are not fumigated or irradiated.

Zava Ranch fresh organic sage leaves are wildcrafted, which means that they grow naturally on our property and we harvest them using sustainable and ethical practices.

Why Buy Wildcrafted Sage Leaves?

“Wildcrafted” purple sage leaves go a step beyond organic. Organic herbs, even when “Certified Organic” are often still sprayed with various chemicals that have been approved for organic use. Wildcrafted herbs grow naturally with no assistance from humans.

According to Wikipedia, wildcrafting (also known as foraging or wild harvesting) is the practice of harvesting plants from their natural, or ‘wild’ habitat, primarily for food or medicinal purposes. It applies to uncultivated plants wherever they may be found, and is not necessarily limited to wilderness areas.

Wildcrafting is harvesting intentionally and carefully, leaving enough of the mother plant to ensure sustainability and to protect endangered species. In essence, these non-cultivated plants (wild harvest herbs) are naturally organic.

Customer Testimonials:

Fresh organic lemons 🍋 from California

The lemons look beautiful when I opened box. They were very cold as it's cold here 18 degrees and snowing but I sliced into one and it is just great. I am happy with the product from this vendor.

Awesome Lemons!

I was looking for organic lemons without the spray or coating....and WOW did I find them. Used the first lemon this morning and you can tell they are so much better than the store bought organic lemons! I will definitely be a returning customer!

Chemical free lemons!

I just received my 5 lbs of lemons! I needed organic for making limoncello. I'm going to juice them after and freeze it in ice cube trays for future use. These are fresh and good quality. I can feel good about gifting clean, chemical free limoncello to my friends and family.

A Zesty Delight!

Zava Ranch Organic Lemons exceeded our expectations! The lemons arrived impressively fast, which was the first delight; this quick delivery was a huge plus. On unboxing, the quality of the lemons was immediately apparent; fresh, vibrant color and a delightful citrus aroma.
