About Thyme, fresh
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) is a small but mighty Mediterranean herb with tiny aromatic leaves on thin woody stems and a warm, earthy, subtly minty flavor. One of the most versatile cooking herbs, it blends seamlessly into soups, stews, roasts, and pan sauces, pairs naturally with chicken, lamb, mushrooms, beans, and roasted vegetables, and is a key part of the French bouquet garni and herbes de Provence.
It comes in many varieties, including the bright, citrusy lemon thyme. Unlike delicate herbs, thyme holds up well to long, slow cooking, releasing its flavor gradually, so it can be added early in the pot. It offers antioxidants, iron, and vitamin C, and its essential oil, thymol, is well known for its antiseptic properties and appears in mouthwashes and salves. To use fresh thyme, run your fingers down the stem to strip off the tiny leaves, or simply drop in whole sprigs and fish out the bare stems later.
Store fresh thyme wrapped in the refrigerator, and keep dried thyme in an airtight jar away from heat and light, where it holds its flavor for many months.
