Savory--the seasoning, not the adjective

[edenvegan]

Hi raw readers. I tried to do a search on savory but couldn't figure out how to tell the computer I wanted to search savory the seasoning, not the word to describe something with heavier spices leaving a lasting impression on the tastebuds.

I have seen summer and winter savory in the store, but I don't know how to use it and what it is exactly. Any patient teachers out there? Thanks.

buy it and try it. try sprinkling some on a cucumber or tomato and see if you like the taste?

it's an actual spice... not a blend, a spice.

I would say it tastes peppery and has a kick. That was where the adjective came from---savory. I used to make vinegar for Christmas gifts and mostly people requested lemon mint or kumquat, but I have made savory vinegar. Pick it fresh (or buy it from someone who did, if you're me) and you can eat it or chop it or cook it. I haven't tried making flavored vinegar with apple cider vinegar, but I have a feeling it would taste odd.
