Thyme organic
is a genus with more than 350 different species, which are widespread in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. They are aromatically scented perennials or semi-shrubs with slender or thread-like stems, which are square in cross-section and finely hairy. The leaves are opposite and they are oval, entire, entire and often evergreen. The flowers are gathered in compact, terminal heads. The individual flowers are irregular with white, pink or purple petals and can be eaten. The fruits are nuts.
But it is Garden Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) that we use as a spice. The plant smells strongly of essential oils, which make it disease-free and inedible to herbivores. Because of these essential oils, the plant has been used in medicine and cooking for millennia.
Latin name: Thymus vulgaris
