    Sage Salvia officinalis Garden Sage, Red Sage, Salvia salvatrix Photo: LuvlyMikimoto 9/1/07 Botanical Description Salvia officinalis can be used for both culinary and medical needs. Sage generally grows to be approximately a foot tall with leaves one and a half to two inches long. The leaves grow in pairs on the thin stems. Over time the plant eventually becomes woody and much like a shrubbery. All parts of the plant have a strong scent due to the essential oils within them.1 The essential oil is made up of thujone, 1,8-cineole, camphor, borneol, isobutyl acetate, camphene, linalool, alpha- and beta-pinene, viridiflorol, alpa- and beta-caryphyllene. Sage blossoms in August. The flowers are labiate (lip-like) with a light purple, white, or pink color.2 Cultivation Sage grows well in almost all types of garden soil. It thrives in partial shade and warm, dryer soil. Though sage is a perennial, it usually needs to be replanted every few years due to the thinning of the plant.3 Origins The name scientific classification, salvia officinalis comes from the Latin verb salvare meaning to save. It was valued for its healing attributes as illustrated in a common Latin translation, “How can a man die who has Sage in his garden?” Some claim that the Virgin Mary used sage’s “extraordinary virtues” to guide her to Egypt and seek shelter.4 History The Ancients and Arabians considered sage linked to immortality. It was first found northern Mediterranean countries and eventually spread to England, France and Switzerland in the fourteenth century.

    Incredible Spices of India: from Traditions to Cuisine

    American-Eurasian Journal of Botany, 1 (3): 85-89, 2008 ISSN 1995-8951 © IDOSI Publications, 2008 Incredible Spices of India: from Traditions to Cuisine M.S. Rathore and N.S. Shekhawat Department of Botany, Plant Biotechnology Unit, Jai Narain Vyas University, Jodhpur-342033, India Abstract: A spice is a dried seed, fruit, root, bark or vegetative material used in nutritionally insignificant amount as a food supplement for the reason of flavoring. Spices are defined as "a strongly flavored or aromatic substance of vegetable origin, obtained from tropical plants, commonly used as a condiment". In ancient times, spices were as valuable as metal gold; and as noteworthy as medicines and perfumes. No country in the world cultivates as a lot of kinds of spices as India with quality spices come from Kerala, an Indian state. Because of the varying climates in India-from tropical to sub-tropical, temperate-almost all spices are grown in this country. In almost all of the 28 states and seven union territories of India, at least one spice is grown in profusion. Spices and herbs are good not only for our taste buds but also for our health. They supply calcium, iron, vitamin B, vitamin C, carotene and other antioxidants. Besides herbs and spices have very low fat, so you can eat them to your hearts pleased. Rajasthan, a state of India is an important producer of spices including seed spices such as fenugreek, cumin and coriander among others. The Rajasthani chilly varieties, especially from the State's Jodhpur regions are popular not only in the country but also appeal to the taste buds of the Indian Diaspora abroad.

  • Using Garden Sage Wisely

    Using Garden Sage Wisely

    Garden Mastery Tips September 2003 from Clark County Master Gardeners Using Garden Sage Wisely Garden sage (Salvia officinalis, common sage) and its cultivars are frequently grown in both herb gardens and among ornamentals. Few people, however, take full advantage of their garden sage. You’re thinking that the next piece of advice will be that we should all slog through the mud Thanksgiving morning to harvest fresh sage for the turkey stuffing? No, let’s see what we can do with sage right now. ♦ Caution Taken in high doses, the compound thujone contained in garden sage may cause convulsions. Since thujone is volatile, most of it dissipates when sage is cooked, so the culinary use of sage is safe. Please consult a professional about the risks of using sage as an internal medicinal treatment. Sage should be avoided or used with caution during pregnancy, as it is a uterine stimulant. ♦ Sage Leaves – cosmetic and therapeutic uses To make a soothing mouthwash or gargle, pour one cup boiling water over three teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage leaves, steep the tea, strain, cool and use. Rub sage leaves on teeth to whiten them. Use one quarter cup each dried sage leaves and dried strawberry leaves or mugwort in herbal baths to relieve stiff muscles and aching joints. Hang the cheesecloth-wrapped bundle of herbs from the spout while running the bath water, let the bundle steep a while, and squeeze the bundle well before removing it and climbing in. Another approach is to make an infusion of sage and strawberry leaves (pour boiling water over a half-cup of dried herbs; let it steep 10 to 20 minutes; strain) and add it to your bath.

    COOKINGScience of Spices: Turmeric SUBSTITUTIONS General Facts The lists below are meant to help you replace ingredients with confidence. Dairy Flavor and texture are important considerations when substituting dairy products. The ingredients below are ordered from thinnest to thickest. If you don’t have the specific substitute on hand, then move up or down the list. Science of Spices: Turmeric Ingredient Substitution General Facts Half-and-half or heavy cream thinned with water, Milk evaporated milk, light coconut milk, light cream, oat milk, nut milk, soy milk. Thicken milk with a little cornstarch or flour (about Half-and-half 1 tablespoon per cup of liquid) or thin heavy cream with a splash of water. For 1 cup heavy cream, use 3/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup melted butter, or thicken 1 cup milk with 1 to 2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour. (Whisk milk into cornstarch or flour little by little.) Coconut milk, coconut cream (beware of increased Heavy Cream sweetness), or cream cheese whisked with a little water also work. Note: Alternatives won’t whip into fluffy whipped cream. If using butter to conduct heat, as in pan-frying, use olive oil or other fats. For flavor substitutions, like butter in risotto or Butter polenta, a number of creamy options like heavy cream or mascarpone will work. Tangy, textural ingredients like crema, crème fraîche, Creamy mascarpone, Neufchâtel, Quark, queso fresco, sour cream or Dairy Products yogurt of any variety can be used interchangeably. CheeseScience of Spices: Turmeric When substituting cheese, think about its purpose: Will it melt evenly in a pasta sauce, or spread easily on toast? If cooking, swap in one with a similar texture, but if using as an accent, there’s much more flexibility.

Setzer * Department of Chemistry, University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, AL 35899, USA; [email protected] (J.D.C.); [email protected] (P.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-256-824-6519 Academic Editors: João Rocha and James D. Adams Received: 2 May 2017; Accepted: 26 June 2017; Published: 29 June 2017 Abstract: Background: Common sage (Salvia officinalis) is a popular culinary and medicinal herb. A literature survey has revealed that sage oils can vary widely in their chemical compositions. The purpose of this study was to examine sage essential oil from different sources/origins and to define the possible chemotypes of sage oil. Methods: Three different samples of sage leaf essential oil have been obtained and analyzed by GC-MS and GC-FID. A hierarchical cluster analysis was carried out on 185 sage oil compositions reported in the literature as well as the three samples in this study. Results: The major components of the three sage oils were the oxygenated monoterpenoids α-thujone (17.2–27.4%), 1,8-cineole (11.9–26.9%), and camphor (12.8–21.4%). The cluster analysis revealed five major chemotypes of sage oil, with the most common being a α-thujone > camphor > 1,8-cineole chemotype, of which the three samples in this study belong. The other chemotypes are an α-humulene-rich chemotype, a β-thujone-rich chemotype, a 1,8-cineole/camphor chemotype, and a sclareol/α-thujone chemotype.
