Thyme

Thyme is an aromatic herb characterized by its small leaves and strong herbal fragrance. When dried, the leaves generally range from green to grey-green and develop a concentrated, warm botanical aroma. Its flavour is earthy, herbaceous and slightly minty, with a noticeable aromatic character that remains present during cooking. Thyme is commonly used in soups, sauces, roasted vegetables, meat dishes, marinades, seasoning blends and a variety of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern recipes. It is frequently combined with other herbs including rosemary, sage, basil and marjoram. The dried herb may consist of whole small leaves as well as smaller natural leaf fragments. Thyme's distinctive aroma allows it to contribute noticeable herbal character to both simple preparations and complex seasoning mixtures.
