Organic Sage ILIOSTASIO Cretan Herbs
Sage (Faskomilo in Greek) is a herb native to Crete and the Mediterranean basin and rich in antioxidants and important nutrients such as vitamin K. In fact, sage has been considered somewhat of a panacea (solution or remedy for all difficulties or diseases) throughout history because of its wide range of uses in cooking and medicine. Sage is harvested in the coastal slopes of Crete.
Sage has a slightly bitter taste and it is a bit spicy. It is one of the favorite herbs in Italian cuisine, too. They use it in dishes with pork, duck and sausage to reduce the essence of fat.
It is used in small quantities because of its robust and intense aroma, which makes it difficult to combine with others, less aromatic herbs. It also matches well with fried rabbit, shrimp, fatty fish.
Organic Sage by ILIOSTASIO Cretan Herbs is a high quality and nutritious herb to enjoy as a tea or to use in your cooking creations.
Sage is found in any house in Crete, where the locals drink it usually hot with local honey. It is naturally caffeine free and delicious whether hot or cold.
