Chefs generally prefer S. hortensis (summer savory - an annual) to S. montana (winter savory - perennial) because of its superior flavour.
It should also be noted that the culinary use of savory is not confined to the flavouring of beans: it goes well with chicken and lamb as well - and may be added with advantage to a bouquet garni of sweet herbs for many purposes. (See the book by Tom Stobart: "Herbs, Spices and Flavourings".)
No duh...it's a spice, I'm no chef but I don't think I've heard of other uses of any spices other than for flavour. This sentence seems completely pointless and should probably be removed, it's insulting to me as a reader.

Yes, it's quite obvious that you're no chef. Many spices were traditionally used to help preserve meat when it took a long time to transport and there was no cold storage. Not very long ago, actually. So it's not pointless and should probably not be removed, notwithstanding the fact that somehow you were insulted by your own ignorance.
