FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does ground sage last?
When stored in a cool, dark place in an airtight container, ground sage maintains its best quality for 1 to 3 years.
How can I tell if ground sage has gone bad?
Rub a small amount in your palm; if the aroma is weak or non-existent, the spice has lost its potency and should be replaced.
What is a good substitute for ground sage?
Dried marjoram, savory, or poultry seasoning are the best substitutes. Thyme or rosemary can also work in smaller quantities.
Is ground sage the same as rubbed sage?
No. Ground sage is a fine powder, while rubbed sage is made by rubbing the leaves together, resulting in a light, fluffy, velvety texture.
Can I use ground sage instead of fresh sage?
Yes, use 1/2 teaspoon of ground sage for every 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped sage.
Does ground sage contain gluten?
Pure ground sage is naturally gluten-free, but always check labels for potential cross-contamination in processing facilities.
What are the most common dishes using ground sage?
It is a staple in Thanksgiving stuffing, breakfast sausages, saltimbocca, and various bean soups.
Should ground sage be refrigerated?
No, refrigeration is not necessary and can introduce moisture which causes the powder to clump and lose flavor.
