Description
What is Young Living's Sage+
Sage+ is a culinary-grade essential oil from Young Living, meticulously steam-distilled from the leaves of Salvia officinalis, an aromatic plant revered since ancient times for its culinary and traditional uses. Specifically designed for internal use, Sage+ brings the concentrated essence and distinctive flavor profile of fresh sage directly to your kitchen, elevating your culinary creations with a unique aromatic depth. Its 'Plus' designation indicates its suitability for ingestion, ensuring that every drop meets the quality and purity standards necessary to be part of your gastronomic experience.
Botanical Origin and Extraction
Sage+ essential oil is derived from the Salvia officinalis plant, commonly known as sage, a perennial shrub in the mint family (Lamiaceae). Native to the Mediterranean region, sage has been cultivated and used for centuries across various cultures for its aromatic leaves. The extraction process for Sage+ involves careful steam distillation of the plant's leaves and flowering tops. This gentle and precise method ensures the extraction of volatile compounds responsible for sage's character and aroma, resulting in a pure and potent essential oil that concentrates the plant's essence in every bottle.
Key Chemical Composition
Sage's aromatic richness and properties are due to its complex chemical composition. The main components of Sage+ essential oil typically include:
- Thujone: A monoterpene ketone that contributes to sage's characteristic aroma.
- Camphor: A monoterpene ketone known for its fresh, pungent aroma.
- 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol): An oxide that provides fresh, camphorous notes.
- Caryophyllene: A sesquiterpene that adds spicy and woody nuances.
This combination of compounds creates a robust and herbaceous flavor profile, with earthy, slightly bitter, and camphorous notes, which are highly valued in gastronomy.
Aromatic and Culinary Profile
Sage+ is distinguished by an intense and characteristic aroma and flavor:
- Aroma: Herbal, earthy, camphorous, slightly sweet, and smoky. It evokes the scents of dry Mediterranean herbs and the countryside.
- Flavor: Warm, earthy, slightly spicy and astringent, with resinous notes and a cleansing finish on the palate. It is a flavor that adds body and complexity to savory dishes.
This profile makes it an exceptional culinary ingredient, capable of transforming a simple recipe into a gourmet experience. Its potency requires moderation in use so as not to overwhelm other flavors.
Suggested Culinary Uses
Sage+ is a versatile companion in the kitchen, ideal for enhancing a wide variety of preparations:
- Meats and Poultry: Excellent for seasoning roasted pork, lamb, chicken, or turkey. It pairs wonderfully with poultry stuffing.
- Roasted Vegetables and Stews: Adds depth to roasted potatoes, squash, carrots, or legume and vegetable stews.
- Sauces and Marinades: A touch of Sage+ can enhance creamy pasta sauces, meat marinades, or emulsions.
- Savory Baking: Incorporate a drop into bread doughs, focaccia, empanadas, or savory crackers for an unmistakable herbal flavor.
- Soups and Broths: Adds complexity to pumpkin soups, lentil soups, or vegetable broths.
- Festive Dishes: It is a star ingredient in Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other celebratory cuisines, especially in stuffings and dressings.
Culinary Usage Instructions
Given that Sage+ is a highly concentrated essential oil, its use requires caution and moderation:
- Dilution: It is recommended to dilute one drop of Sage+ in 4 fl oz (120 ml) of liquid (olive oil, broth, honey, etc.) or mix it with wet ingredients like yogurt or puree before adding it to your dish.
- Start with Less: It is always best to start with a very small amount, such as a toothpick dipped in the essential oil and stirred into the preparation, and adjust to taste.
- Add at the End: To preserve its delicate aromatic compounds, it is preferable to add Sage+ towards the end of the cooking process, especially in hot dishes, or just before serving.
- Not Directly to Heat: Avoid applying direct and prolonged heat to the essential oil to maintain its integrity.
Culinary Synergies
Sage+ harmonizes well with other culinary essential oils and spices, allowing for creative combinations:
- With Rosemary+: To enhance the profile of roasted meats and Mediterranean vegetables.
- With Thyme+: Provides a balanced herbal and pungent complement, ideal for stews and marinades.
- With Black Pepper+: Adds a warm, spicy note that complements the earthiness of sage.
- With Honey and Citrus: For an interesting contrast in dressings or glazes.
Precautions
Although Sage+ is formulated for internal use, it is essential to observe the following precautions:
- Dose: Use with extreme moderation due to its high concentration. One drop is often sufficient for a recipe. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
- Pregnancy and Lactation: Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, as some components of sage may be a concern.
- Medical Conditions: If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, especially seizure disorders or high blood pressure, or are taking medication, consult your doctor before use.
- Children: Keep out of reach of children. Essential oils are very concentrated and are not suitable for direct ingestion by young children.
- Avoid Direct Contact: Avoid direct contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, with the container tightly closed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Sage+ and regular sage essential oil?
Essential oils with the '+' suffix from Young Living are specifically labeled and approved for food-grade and internal use, guaranteeing the highest standards of purity and safety for ingestion, unlike regular essential oils primarily intended for diffusion or topical application.
Can I use Sage+ to make infusions or teas?
Yes, you could add one drop of Sage+ (previously diluted in a little honey or a similar vehicle) to infusions or teas for a concentrated sage flavor. However, its potency means that a very small amount will suffice, and infusing fresh or dried sage leaves remains an excellent alternative.
How much Sage+ is equivalent to fresh or dried sage?
Due to its high concentration, a single drop of Sage+ can be equivalent in flavor to several fresh sage leaves or a teaspoon of dried sage. It's always recommended to start with the minimum amount and adjust as needed.
Is it safe to use Sage+ daily in meals?
In small, properly diluted amounts, Sage+ can be incorporated into your culinary routine. However, due to its potency, excessive and prolonged use is not advisable. Always listen to your body and consider variety in your diet.

EL QUE ENTRA NO SALE
NO DEJEIS QUE OS INSCRIBAN EN EL PROGRAMA DE FIDELIZACIÓN DE CLIENTE, NO PODREIS SALIR Y OS COBRAN CADA MES UN CARGO hasta que consigais dar de baja la tarjeta que le habéis dado. NO ATIENDEN EL TELEFONO Tienen un sistema cerrado de tal manera que te obligan a hacer un pedido mensual y solo puedes cambiar los productos en él contenidos pero no dejar vacía la cesta y solo comprar cuando necesites algo. Tampoco de dan de baja, no existe la forma de hacerlo, ni siquiera la persona que te inscribe puede luego darte de baja. Su sistema es captar los datos de la tarjeta y mientras consigues anular la tarjeta, porque no hay otra forma de salir de ahí, ya te han repetido varios pedidos. LAMENTABLE LA FORMA DE VENDER DE ESTA GENTUZA una lástima ya que tienen buen producto.
Llevo usando YL desde hace 3 años
Llevo usando YL desde hace 3 años. Me parecen unos productos de muy buena calidad. Es verdad que son más costosos que otros pero valoro más la calidad que el precio. No soy de usarlos a todas horas pero si recurro a ellos en momentos que creo que los necesito. Además YL no tiene solo a.e sino que también tienen productos de aseo, de limpieza sin toxicos, suplementación, etc. Es verdad que alguna vez he tenido algún problema con los envíos (un par de veces en todos estos años) pero dd atención al cliente siempre me han atendido de manera amable y correcta. Otras veces el problema no es de YL, es de la compañía que hace el reparto, de Seur. Mi valoración es buena pq mi experiencia es buena.
En una sola palabra CALIDAD
llevo usando estos aceites bastante tiempo es una marca que me tiene enamorada, tanto sus aceites como otros productos encuentro en ellos un montón de beneficios, son un poquito más caros pero son aceites muy muy diferentes a otras marcas. Es la excelencia en aceites tanto para mi familia y para mí hogar. la calidad fue lo que realmente me encantó.
Engaño
Lo único que pretenden es vender, seguía a una "influencer" que te vendía todo como si fuera lo mejor, que no usaba otra cosa más que aceites para todo. Que se había informado y los protectores solares son malisimos, con enlaces y opiniones de gente supuestamente entendida. Y de pronto sale un día promocionando el protector solar de Young Living. Pues CREDIBILIDAD CERO. Hay aceites iguales de otras marcas más baratos, incluso en la parafarmacia. Solo quieren que compres a través de sus enlaces para llevarse su porcentaje. Cambian de opinión según les paguen.
Solo importa el negocio
Los aceites esenciales de young living son de muy buena calidad. Tienen también algunas sinergias maravillosas (thieves, purification, stress away…) que me encantan. Ahora bien, parece que solo les importa vender. Si lo haces por tu cuenta los precios son altísimos. Lo mejor es comprar a través de una distribuidora y empezar con el Kit de Inicio, pero entonces cada vez que compras, los beneficios o recompensas van para esta persona (no para ti!). Además, los gastos de envio son carísimos (10-12€), por lo que si no compras conjuntamente con alguien, es una barbaridad. Da igual lo que te gastes, los gastos siempre son los mismos. Lo que parece una buena propuesta (entras en un grupo/comunidad de whats app donde puedes consultar y obtener ayuda e ideas), al final solo es una estrategia de marketing (si durante un año no compras, porque con los aceites que tienes en casa ya es suficiente, te echan del grupo. Lamentable!!!! Es muy feo que después de tres años comprando, te saquen de un grupo porque simplemente no les generas dinero). Tampoco entienden que puedas combinar con aceites de otras marcas. A mi antigua distribuidora también la echaron para no presionar a sus clientes de comprar constantemente. Y les da igual perder clientes porque obtienen otros… en fin, puro negocio. Yo ya conozco 4 personas que han dejado de comprar con YL. Al final hay otras marcas que aunque no sean tal vez de tanta calidad, te aportan los mismos beneficios y con precios más razonables (incluso con gastos de envio gratuitos segun el importe).
Works!
