Savory Leaves (Sold In Bulk)
Savory is an aromatic herb that belongs to the mint family, with two main types: Summer savory (Satureja hortensis) and Winter savory (Satureja montana). Both types are known for their peppery, slightly spicy flavor and are often used in cooking to add depth to savory dishes.
Summer savory is typically milder and fresher, while winter savory has a stronger, more robust flavor, which makes it great for heartier dishes. Both types are popular in Mediterranean and European cuisine and are often used in beans, meats, soups, stews, and stuffing. Savory pairs well with garlic, onions, and other herbs like thyme, oregano, and rosemary.
In addition to its culinary uses, savory is also thought to have some medicinal properties. It's been traditionally used as a digestive aid, as it may help reduce bloating and promote healthy digestion. It’s also believed to have mild antibacterial and antioxidant properties.
