Sage is a multi-purpose powerhouse.

Use it to flavour turkey, sausage, and stuffing, toss it in tomato sauce, or add it to soups and stews. Of course, it’s also the quintessential Thanksgiving herb.

Sage belongs to the mint family and contains over 160 polyphenols, acting as antioxidants in your body. These may:

• Support brain health
• Help reduce cancer risk
• ​Promote dental health

Plus, sage contains micronutrients linked to lower cholesterol levels and has been traditionally used to ease menopause symptoms.

Bonus: Some people even use sage to “smudge” or cleanse a room of negative energy!
