Is salvia actually the seasoning sage?

Question

If it is the store bought seasoning what X is it when bought in a regular size seasoning shaker?

Answer 1

Salvia officinalis, is the herb used in seasoning our foods. Seems to be a lot of sudden questions and concerns with exactly what Salvia is, and is not. You can be sure that because of the rise in popularity over the legal intoxicant, Salvia divinorum, a lot of people are going to be smoking supermarket Sage, and growing garden Salvia, the annual landscape plant. Pretty remarkable. But to calm any fears about putting an intoxicant in your family dinner, it is not the same as Salvia, the dope.

Answer 2

It is the same genus as the hallucinogenic Salvia species, but not the same species.  The Salvia genus contains several species of sages and mints, and the hallucinogenic species (Salvia divinorum) is not the same as the seasoning.  No worries.

Answer 3

no not that I know in there

Answer 4

There are around 1000 salvia cultivars. Some are grown for flowers some as a culinary herb, some as a medicinal herb (Salvia divinorum first use BTW) and many are considered weeds.

The Sage you buy at the store is not hallucinogenic. It is a salvia but very different than Salvia divinorum

Answer 5

I don't think so
