Sage Leaves

Sage leaves can be dried and stored for as long as one year. Drying herb leaves reduces some of their flavor, but sage is an exception to this rule as it actually becomes more flavorful after drying. Sage belongs to the mint family and has a strong taste that is widely used in cooking, especially for fatty meats like duck, pork, and goose. The leaves and flowers of this plant are also quite attractive, making this a popular ornamental plant as well. The following will provide you some tips on how to effectively dry your sage leaves.
