There are many types of sage. Some folks here refer to their application to food preparation, while others go beyond the kitchen in their thinking and
application.
In BC, the wild sage is less likely to be used for cooking than medicinal and spiritual application. And the sage up here that grows wild is a lot
different than the broadleaf sage such as the white sage mentioned initially in this thread.

If you don't mind a short hike, you can pick it where it grows wild in Punta Banda.

While there are many recommendations here on where to find the sage in the USA (and I do have a USA source for it), or via a Canadian vendor...
I'm STILL seeking help/info in finding out where this is being sourced from specifically in BAJA! I know of a retail vendor in Ensenada, but am
interested in knowing who/what is the source for all of them in Baja California.

Thx.

I believe I have seen it growing wild up in a canyon in Cantu (LaBufadora area). Let me know if you are interested.

another little sage tidbit is that drinking sage tea helps withstand hot temperatures...we used to drink it before entering a sweat lodge...would be a
good idea to drink it in baja in September I bet.

I've seen white sage bundles that were hand-picked in the Catavina area for personal use.
Very good quality.
A commercial source for Baja sage, don't know. I'll ask in town.

Sage is good in sausage and dressing/stuffing.

I have seen white sage sold at San Antonio Necua which is near L.A. Cetto. This is an interesting place to visit and is an Indian reservation.
