Savory herbs are flavoring agents and, like spices, are used in cookery to season, enrich, or otherwise alter the flavor and odor of certain foods to make them more pleasing to the taste. Parts of the plants-leaves, fragrant seeds, fruits, buds, barks, and roots-have been used for this purpose since ancient times. Most of the spices-black pepper, nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice-are derived from tropical plants. Savory herbs are aromatic plants the various parts of which posses pleasing odors and tastes.
