india, Thyme, 55g (thimari)
For many, thyme is the scent of the Greek countryside as it grows wild in all the low hills, in the mountains and in the fields. The ancient Greeks burned it in temples as incense and considered it a symbol of courage and bravery.
Thyme has curly, oval leaves that are gray-green on one side and white on the other. Its dried leaves have a green olive color and, when crushed, they give off their aroma.
Thyme is often used in cooking, but it is also known for its therapeutic use, especially for its antiseptic properties.
Although thyme has a strong flavor, it combines easily with other aromatic plants and spices and goes particularly well with lemon. Add its strong, slightly corrosive and rich flavor even to your most common dishes and see the difference.
