Thyme is a small, woody-stemmed herb with tiny green leaves. It has a warm, resinous aroma with earthy, minty notes, and its leaves withstand long simmering and roasting. Commonly used in roasts, braises, soups, sauces, and sautés, often tied into bouquet garni; sold as fresh sprigs or picked leaves, and also dried.\n\nNative to the Mediterranean, thyme spread through Europe and became a foundation herb in French, Italian, and Middle Eastern cooking. It is widely cultivated in temperate regions and greenhouse-grown for consistent supply.
