Common sage (Salvia officinalis) and Greek sage (Salvia fruticosa).

Pineapple sage usually isn’t as readily available in markets

Medicinal Uses
The Salvia genus gets its name from the Latin salvare which means “to save.” Many cultures, including the Greek and Roman, used sage medicinally to treat health problems, such as indigestion and treating heartburn.

Health benefits of sage include calming the nervous system, serving as a general tonic, improving the digestive health.

Pineapple sage is used in Mexican medicine, for the treatment of anxiety, and also for lowering of blood pressure, and potentially having anti depressant and anti anxiety properties.

Studies have shown that sage aids the digestion of meats. Various kinds of salvia are still used today in alternative medicine, particularly teas.

Just sprinkle fresh pineapple sage edible flowers all over salads, just before serving.

First add the salad dressing on your salad and then put several tablespoons of pineapple sage flowers on your salad just before eating it. (this stops the flowers from becoming mushy).

When added fresh to your food just before eating, these flowers have a mild fruity flavor and add a profusion of color to your food.

Pineapple sage edible flowers can be added to rice, tacos, salads, vegetables and yogurt.

Place these edible flowers in a bowl on the table and when the food has been served, then sprinkle the flowers like confetti all over everyone’s plate.
