Savory is a wonderful herb that is sadly underutilized. As the name suggests, it has a rich, satisfying flavor, but it also has a wide range of healing applications too. To bring more attention to this useful plant, the International Herb Association made savory the 2015 Herb of the Year.
In Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, France, Greece, and other European countries, savory has been a staple seasoning for centuries, not only because of its spicy, woodsy taste, but also because it helps with digestion. It is often compared to thyme, but savory has a character all its own.
