Sage
Sage (Salvia officinalis) holds a significant place in both traditional cuisines and modern food and herbal supplement industries, thanks to its sharp aroma, slightly bitter taste, and functional health benefits.
At Tuna Spice, we harvest sage just before flowering — when essential oil levels are at their peak. Drying, sieving, and grading are carried out under hygienic conditions, and the product is supplied in bulk form.
