To substitute ground sage for fresh sage leaves, use about one teaspoon of ground sage for every tablespoon of fresh sage leaves. This is because ground spices are more concentrated than fresh herbs. If you’re using dried sage leaves instead, the conversion is similar, with one tablespoon of dried sage equating to one teaspoon of ground sage. Adjust according to taste, as the flavor intensity may vary.
Sage rubbed from a fresh plant is much stronger than dried ground sage. Fresh herbs are almost invariably stronger in flavor than dried.

When converting fresh sage to dried sage, the general rule of thumb is to use one-third the amount of dried herbs as fresh, since dried herbs are more concentrated in flavor.
