Savory Ingredients Market Trends



  • Growing application in food ingredients to boost the market growth


Savory has been a culinary herb for 2,000 years to season meat, flavor beans, and give food a thyme-like flavor. Since savory has such a strong, peppery flavor, it has also come to mean flavorful food, as in "a savory sauce." Savory is also referred to as the "herb of love" because the Ancient Romans used it to concoct love potions because they thought it was a natural aphrodisiac. For fear that the monks would fall prey to its enchantment, European monasteries forbade the growth of savory. Savory can give many dishes a rich, smoky flavor, from casseroles to meats and bean dishes to stews. While winter savory is cooked with heavier fare, like meats and stuffings, and summer savory is frequently served with lighter foods like beans, both can deepen and enrich the flavors of many dishes. Thus, the increasing use of food is another factor driving the Savory Ingredients market revenue growth.
