Thyme

Thymus vulgaris

During the Middle Ages, and because it was considered a source of courage, Thyme was given by ladies to knights and also to warriors before going into combat. During this same period, thyme was often placed under pillows to help promote a peaceful sleep and ward off nightmares. The ancient Greeks used thyme in their baths and burned it as incense in their temples, while the Egyptians used it in their traditional ceremonies. Today, thyme is commonly used as a seasoning, but it also produces a potent essential oil that has cleansing and purifying effects for the skin; however, due to its high thymol content, thyme must be diluted with a carrier oil before application.

Cooking with Thyme

Essential oils are very potent compared to dry seasonings, spices, or other flavouring agents, so even the tiniest amount can add a serious blast of flavour to your dish. When using Thyme essential oil in cooking, it is best to use the toothpick method – dip the tip of a clean toothpick into the essential oil bottle and stir the toothpick into your ingredients. After you’ve stirred the toothpick around in the dish, do a taste test to see if additional oil should be added.

Sourcing

Why Africa and Europe?

Thyme grows best in a hot, sunny location with well-drained soil. We source our thyme from areas in both Europe and Africa that provide these optimal growing conditions for the plant.

How Does it Work?

   Africa & Europe
Thyme is a perennial herb in the mint family. It has woody stems covered with tiny hairs. The leaves are small, ovular, and slightly rolled at the edges. Thyme also grows tiny flowers that are bluish-purple to pink. It is usually planted in the spring and grows through early autumn. It tolerates drought well and is harvested all throughout the summer. The primary source of essential oil is in the leaves, which are steam distilled.
