What it is
A small-leaved culinary herb with a concentrated, woody aroma.
Plain-language buying tip
Choose fresh sprigs for stocks and roasts you can strip or remove; choose dried thyme for pantry blends and long cooking.
Forms and use
Add sprigs to soups, beans, roasts, and braises; remove woody stems before serving when appropriate.
Common forms include fresh sprigs, dried leaves. Match the form to the job: visible ingredient, even distribution, or a slow infusion you can strain.
Storage
Keep dried thyme tightly sealed, cool, dark, and dry.
Quick questions
What should I check before buying Thyme?
Check the stated botanical identity or style when available, the form, and the ingredient list. These details are more useful than relying on a broad category name alone.
