Sage's flavor is bold and assertive and considered very valuable as a digestive aid to high fat foods, such as pork, wild game and cheese. Often paired with stuffing, it also livens up vegetables, potatoes, soups and stews. This drought tolerant plant also has edible, purple blue flowers that attract pollinators and the gray green foliage provides an excellent contrast in the garden or containers.
