Cooking


Thyme has an intense slightly spicy flavour so we should be careful in its use. It can accompany meats, poultry, fish, sauces, legumes and cheeses. It is a herb that we should use from the start of cooking, so it has time to release its aroma, and is also very suited to marinating. It can be combined, especially in baked and grilled meats, with sage and rosemary.

Traditional Properties


Traditionally thyme is used as a tea to offer relief from coughing, sniffles and intestinal problems. It has antiseptic, antifungal and anticonvulsant properties due to which it can be used as a gargle against tonsillitis, laryngitis and other problems of the throat area. It is also believed to strengthen and stimulate the mind.
