Can you eat fresh sage?

Can you eat fresh sage?

Sage is an herb in the same family as mint. … However, most of the sage that you eat consists of silvery green, elliptical leaves with a minute layer of down on the underside. You can buy it either dried or fresh, though it is never actually eaten raw.

How do I use a lot of sage?

One of the most popular things I've seen sage used for is tea. You just dry the leaves, steep as you would regular tea leaves (personally I like it with ginger root if I have some handy), and then maybe a little honey or lemon. Sage is anti-bacterial, which is a nice bonus.
