The ancient Romans were particularly fond of it. The poet Virgil even cites it as one of the most aromatic herbs. Savory was also long considered as a plant with aphrodisiac power. True or false, savory is still a versatile herb. Not only does it give taste to legumes, but it also acts as a natural anti-flatulent. It also enhances meat such as veal and pork as well as fish. Try it on scrambled eggs and also in an omelette!
