Thyme is one of the most versatile herbs used in cooking. Its intense aroma and taste make it a valued addition to a variety of dishes, from meat and fish to vegetables. It works great in seasoning bigos, cheeses, legumes and classic Italian pizzas. Thyme is also irreplaceable in Mediterranean cuisine, where it is often used to flavor marinades, sauces and stews. Thanks to its properties, such as the ability to release a deep flavor during long cooking, thyme goes perfectly with fatty dishes, enriching them with flavor complexity and subtle herbal notes.
Thyme contains carvacrol and thymol, which have an antispasmodic effect, soothing coughs and sore throats. In aromatherapy, thyme supports relaxation and stress reduction. Thanks to the presence of antiseptic compounds such as camphene, caryophyllene and thymol, thyme supports wound healing and protects against infections. Additionally, it has antibacterial and antifungal properties, making it a valuable ingredient in natural medicine and cosmetics.
