Thyme - A Robust Kitchen Classic
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) is one of the most important herbs in European cuisine, and for good reason. It has a potent, aromatic, and slightly peppery flavor with hints of citrus and herbs. Dried thyme is a true workhorse in the kitchen because, unlike many other herbs, it withstands long cooking times without losing its character. This makes it the perfect choice for slow-cooked stews, stocks, and soups.
