Savory

Savory is a versatile herb with a robust and peppery flavor, reminiscent of a combination of thyme and mint. There are two main types: summer savory (Satureja hortensis) and winter savory (Satureja montana), both of which are used in culinary applications. Summer savory has a milder flavor and is often used fresh, while winter savory has a stronger taste and is better suited for dried uses. Savory is commonly used to season a variety of dishes, including meats, stews, soups, vegetables, and stuffings. Its savory and slightly spicy taste adds depth and complexity to recipes, making it a popular herb in many cuisines around the world. Additionally, savory is believed to have digestive benefits and is sometimes used in herbal remedies for its potential medicinal properties.
