Fresh Purple Sage in Louisville

The sages are vitally important culinary herbs! They contribute a wonderful and distinct flavor to so many dishes, thought sage is perhaps most associated with Thanksgiving dinner. Purple and common (green) sage can be used interchangeably in most recipes or preparations. Purple sage leaves are slightly smaller and narrow and their beautiful color adds a touch of drama to a dish.

Use sage to infuse butter for traditional sage and onion stuffing or to baste chicken or pork. Sage is perfect when paired with chicken, duck, goose or other poultry. A great way to flavor poultry with sage is by stuffing the cavity of the bird with sage (or my Poultry Blend, which also includes sage!). Dried or fresh sage makes a wonderful addition to roasted vegetables. Medicinally, sage can be steeped for 20 minutes to make a throat soothing tea.

Sold in bunches (leaves and stem).

Find the tag with your name and take your cup(s). The cups have enough water in them to keep your herbs fresh until you get them home.

What to Do With Fresh Herbs

Many people who purchase fresh herbs will use them for specific recipes or other cooking applications. In most cases, fresh herbs are added towards the end of the cooking process or sprinkled over the finished dish. Herbs can be steeped in warm (not HOT) water to make herbal teas or marinated in vinegar to flavor it. Here’s a few more ideas for using your herbs.
