Thyme is used as a spice in cooking, adding a warm, earthy flavor to dishes such as soups, stews, sauces, and marinades. It is also commonly used to season meats, poultry, fish, and vegetables. Thyme is a fragrant, evergreen herb that is native to the Mediterranean region. It has tiny, aromatic leaves and delicate purple or pink flowers that bloom in the summer. Thyme is available in fresh or dried form, with dried thyme having a more concentrated flavor than fresh. It's best to add it near the beginning of cooking to allow its flavors to meld with the dish when cooking with thyme. We only sell the most recent spice that is stored in a weather-controlled facility so that you can get maximum freshness.
