Culinary & Growing Tips
Green Thyme is indispensable for roasted chicken, grilled meats, vegetable dishes, soups, stews, and herb blends. Use fresh or dried—the flavor intensifies when dried, so adjust quantities accordingly. Strip leaves from stems before adding to dishes, or tie whole sprigs into bouquet garni for easy removal. In the garden, plant in full sun with excellent drainage in containers, herb gardens, or as fragrant edging along pathways. This low-maintenance herb rewards you with continuous harvest throughout the season.
