Grown in the warm Bulgarian climate, savory develops a most pleasant aroma reminiscent of thyme. You can add it to any recipe that calls for oregano. It is not a coincidence that savory in English means tasty.

But flavor is not the only advantage of chubritsa, it also helps in a number of illnesses – reduces bad cholesterol and high blood pressure, works for colds and flu and helps for healthy kidneys. Savory is also known to stimulate the activity of the stomach and intestines, so it is very suitable for seasonings that are hard to digest such as legumes – beans, lentils, peas, etc. Many reasons to include it in the menu!
