Thyme is a member of the mint family grown as a culinary herb and an ornamental groundcover.
The plant’s delicate, green-grey foliage is highly aromatic and yields a warm, slightly peppery flavor. Dried thyme leaf is added to tea blends, soups, stews and sauces and pairs especially well with eggs and cheese.
It may help rebalance gut flora (parasites, yeast, bacterial overgrowth). Often used at the first sign of illness or during short-term immune challenges.
Origin: Morocco
