Sage, Greek (Triloba)
Greek Sage or Sage Triloba, has a much lower thujone content than the more common Dalmation or Spanish Sage. And because the cineole content is higher it is not unlike a fine Rosemary. The herb has a long tradition of use in Greece and Turkey, where it is valued for its beauty, medicinal value, and culinary use, along with its sweet nectar and pollen. It also has a long tradition of use in various Muslim rituals—for newborn children, at weddings, in funerals, burnt as incense and is used in cooking.
