Savory

Savory is an aromatic herb available in both annual and perennial forms, known for its peppery, slightly pungent flavor that blends hints of thyme and mint. It has slender, dark green leaves and produces clusters of small white to pale pink flowers in mid to late summer. Summer Savory is more delicate and mild, while Winter Savory has a stronger, sharper taste and woody stems. Savory is a traditional seasoning for beans, lentils, sausages, poultry, and stuffing, and is often used in herb blends like Herbes de Provence. Varieties: Summer Savory (Satureja hortensis) and Winter Savory (Satureja montana).
