Organic Summer Savory Delivery or Pickup

Multiple options can help you extend the life of fresh summer savory. The easiest option is drying the herb. 

Alternatively, you can dry your own fresh summer savory to prolong its shelf life. If you wish to dry the herb, bundle the summer savory stalks with twine and hang them in a room with good airflow. However, avoid exposing the bundles to direct sunlight as it can cause the herb to lose color and flavor while drying. You can also use a food dehydrator to ease the drying process. Use your dried summer savory to flavor beans, vegetables, and meat.

Besides drying, you can also preserve your fresh summer savory by freezing. Start by freezing the sprigs on a baking sheet, strip the leaves from the stems, and store them in an airtight container in your freezer. You can then thaw the frozen leaves and add them to the dishes as needed.

Summer savory is a unique aromatic herb that easily blends with multiple dishes. Compared to other mint-related herbs, summer savory is a milder and sweeter herb. When used in moderation, this herb will add a natural sweetness to both salads and cooked dishes.
