Sage is an herb with oblong gray-green leaves which are used in cooking and herbal medicine. The herb has a pungent, mildly astringent, slightly bitter to peppery flavor which accents many foods including roasts, soups, savory sauces, and stuffing. The herb is also used in extracts and teas to improve digestive problems and to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Sage extracts and concentrated sage should be avoided by pregnant women, as the herb stimulates uterine contractions, and by people prone to convulsions and seizures, as sage contains a compound which can cause convulsions. Studies have also shown that sage has a compound which may enhance memory, although large amounts of it would need to be consumed.
