Thyme Leaves, Wild-Grown

Thyme wild is a distant relative of oregano and mint due to its similar flavour profile. It has a woody, spicy flavour with hints of clove and mint. One of the oldest recorded herbs, thyme has been used for centuries. It’s a staple ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in Greek, Italian and French dishes, often used to enhance the flavour of roasted meats, grilled vegetables, soups, stews, and sauces.

Additionally, it is native to North Africa and parts of Asia too, making it a truly global herb. These leaves are loved in the Caribbean and feature in Jerk Chicken. They can withstand high cooking temperatures and are therefore a great option for stews, casseroles and soups.

Thyme is often associated with the Middle East and is one of our 5 vital ingredients in the Zahtar spice blend. The French also add thyme to Bouquet Garni, where the muslin bags are left to steep in stews.

Wild Thyme is a source of essential vitamins and minerals, containing nutrients such as vitamin C, iron, and manganese. Additionally, the essential oil contains beneficial compounds such thymol and carvacrol, well known for their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.
