Fresh thyme offers benefits like boosting immunity, fighting infections (antibacterial/anti-fungal), soothing coughs and respiratory issues, aiding digestion, and providing antioxidants, vitamins (A, C, K), and minerals, with compounds like thymol and carvacrol supporting heart health and mood. Its potent antioxidants protect cells, while iron and manganese support circulation.

Culinary suggestions...

Strip leaves from woody stems (or chop whole sprigs) and add them early to slow-cooked dishes like soups, stews, roasts, and sauces, as it withstands heat and infuses flavour deeply; it also pairs well with meats, vegetables, and even fruits like peaches.
