Thyme

Thyme is a herbaceous plant with small leaves and a delightful, savory aroma. Originally, it grows around the Mediterranean Sea, where it has been used for centuries in cooking and as a medicinal herb. Thyme has a warm, earthy flavor with a hint of lemon, making it ideal for pairing with meat, vegetables, potatoes, or in soups and stews.

Tip: Add thyme at the end of a cooking process for a subtle flavor or let it cook along for a deeper, fuller taste.

Did you know: The ancient Greeks used thyme as a symbol of courage and strength. Roman soldiers even took a bath with thyme before going into battle for an extra dose of confidence!

Recipe with thyme:

Give potatoes a herby twist! Mix 2 tablespoons of dried thyme with olive oil, 1 crushed garlic clove, pepper, and salt. Toss with the cooked baby potatoes and roast them golden brown in the oven. Simple, but full of flavor!
