Thyme Quick Facts
- Thyme is part of the mint family and is known for the aroma and flavor of its dried leaves and flowering tops
- The herb is native to Eurasia
- It is used to flavor a wide range of foods: poultry, stuffings, fish, eggs, meats, sauces, soups, vegetables, cheeses, and pastas
- Some varieties are grown as ornamental ground covers
- Thyme grows as a small, low shrub that only lasts for one growing season (but in warm climates it can persist as an evergreen perennial)
- The stems of the shrub are woody and bear simple leaves that are oval to linear; the flowers are borne in whorls along the stems and are typically purple or white
