Common Sage is the dry leaves of Sage (Saliva. Officinalis Linnaeus) from the Lamiaceae family. The leaves of the fresh Common Sage flower are white-gray and because of having a lot of hair with a woolly appearance, they are opposite and oval and spear-shaped, 2 to 8 cm long and 2 cm wide. Drying of these leaves is done naturally or artificially. The color of the dry leaves is lighter than the color of the fresh leaves.
