Do you have to rub ground sage to make rubbed sage?
When you rub sage either fresh or dried, it brings out the oils
and aroma of sage. Sage's oils and aroma is very fragile and does
not last long. It is better to buy more sage when the previous sage
is starting to age. Freah is always better than dried The flavor
from sage does not spread very well but yet it is a strong aroma.
Mix it well. I have sage growing in my backyard so fresh is
available and it has very pretty purple flowers.
