About Spices, thyme, dried
Thyme is the small-leaved, earthy, subtly minty herb that's a quiet backbone of French and Mediterranean cooking — slipped into stocks, stews, roasts and a bouquet garni, where its gentle, savory aroma infuses slowly and stands up to long cooking.
Used in small amounts it adds little in the way of calories, but thyme carries vitamin K, antioxidants and the essential oil thymol behind both its flavor and its traditional use as an antiseptic. Dried thyme is more concentrated than fresh, so a little less is needed.
Versatile and understated, thyme blends into the background of a dish rather than dominating it — one of the most useful all-purpose herbs to keep on the rack.
