Thyme (Wild Thyme)

Description

Also known as wild thyme in Latvian, this herb is packed with essential oils. Thyme’s flavor pairs perfectly with meat dishes, soups, tomatoes, and peppers. Its aromatic properties are well-preserved even when dried, making it ideal for infusing oils or vinegars. Thyme has a pleasant, bold aroma and a sharp, slightly bitter taste. Due to its intensity, use it sparingly in your cooking.

USAGE: Thyme is a great match for rich meats, potato dishes, and soups. It’s frequently used in smoked foods, as well as with mushrooms, game, fish, bean and pea soups, and potato salads.

MANASGARŠAS.LV TIP: Try making your own unique thyme honey! Layer honey and dried thyme (each layer at least 1 cm thick) in a sealable jar. Flip the jar every day, and after three weeks, stir it all together. Enjoy it for both the flavor and the health benefits.
