Thyme is an aromatic evergreen herb, with many traditional and culinary uses. The most common variety is Thymus vulgaris. It is a member of the mint family (Lamiaceae), and a relative of oregano. Thyme is commonly grown all over the world but originated in the Mediterranean. This rubbed, dried thyme has a herbaceous, savoury flavour and a pungent aroma.
