Its warm and woody aroma can be attributed to its lineage. Kin to both mint and oregano, thyme is a nutritious spice that complements other spices such as pepper, onion powder, and garlic. Thyme can be cooked for longer than most herbs, a quality that makes it great for pot roasts. Use them in your soups, meat stuffings, and other poultry rubs. Due to their organic nature, they are free from gluten, fertilizers, and pesticides.
