SUMMER SAVORY Satureja hortensis
Summer Savory is a very popular seasoning, preferred over Winter Savory for its delicate flavour. Indispensable for its use in traditional Eastern Canadian dishes like potato stuffing. It is one of the ingredients used in herbes de Provence. Summer Savory can be used wherever sage is used, when a more subtle flavour is desired.
It has been used to sooth and aid in digestion.
Summer savory is annual (unlike the perennial winter variety) and hence is easier and quicker to raise from seed.
