Salvia

Sage has been held in high regard throughout history both for it culinary and medicinal properties. Due to its high antioxidant capacity, sage can help protect the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals, which often results in cell death, impaired immunity and chronic disease. Sage is also an excellent source of fiber, vitamin A, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese and B vitamins such as folic acid, thiamin, pyridoxine and riboflavin in much higher doses than the recommended daily requirements, plus healthy amounts of vitamin C, vitamin E, thiamin and copper.
