Dried Savory

Store in an airtight container away from heat, light, and moisture. Keeps best in a cool, dark pantry.

Savory is especially prized in bean dishes—it's said to reduce bloating and improve digestibility

Use it sparingly; the flavor is strong and can easily overpower a dish

Crumble dried leaves between your fingers just before adding to release more flavor

Works well in herb de Provence blends and Mediterranean seasoning mixes

Beans (especially white beans, lentils, chickpeas)

Root vegetables (carrots, potatoes, turnips)

Soups and stews

Roasted meats (poultry, pork)

Vinegars and olive oil (for dressings)

Adding too much—start with ¼ teaspoon and taste before adjusting

Storing in clear bottles exposed to light, which fades the herb and reduces potency
