Thyme comes from the Thymus vulgaris plant and is a classic herb used in Mediterranean, European, and Middle Eastern cooking. It has a warm, earthy flavor with light minty and lemon notes, making it a versatile addition to soups, stews, roasted meats, vegetables, and long-simmered dishes.

Dried thyme holds its flavor well during cooking, and its small leaves blend easily into both hearty and lighter recipes. Outside the kitchen, thyme is also valued for its aromatic oils, often used in traditional wellness practices and herbal preparations.
