hi douglas, you’re doing exceptionally well with these aromatic herbs. i was just now cooking and adding a small handful of dried summer savory (as is my wont) and thinking how simple it is to increase the antioxidant potential of our foods with these mediterranean herbs, how tasty, how kind to the digestion, and how they antidote the common ills of excess. r

hi sienna, all the savory (Satureja) species are edible and tasty. We consume them daily here, close to every meal actually. they are flavor enhancers and powerful antioxidants. you add them at the last phase of cooking in order to preserve the volatile oils, their good taste and other qualities. r
