Usage Ideas: Tri-Color Sage is specially used as garnish, but it is edible and has the same culinary uses as regular sage.

Sage pairs well with poultry, pork, lamb, stew and hardy vegetables like carrots, beans, and peas. It is commonly used in combination with marjoram, oregano, and thyme in herb blends like poultry seasoning.

Fun Facts: Tri-Color Sage is original from the Mediterranean region. Ancient Egyptians and Greeks used sage as a traditional medicine.
