What it is

Thyme is an herb with small, fragrant leaves. It grows in the Mediterranean region and is cultivated worldwide. The leaves and stems are used fresh or dried for flavoring.

Why it's used

Thyme is primarily used as a flavoring agent in a wide variety of savory dishes. Manufacturers add it to seasoning mixes, marinades, soups, stews, and meat products to impart its distinct, slightly minty and peppery taste.

Health notes

Thyme is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food flavoring. It is a common culinary herb, and its consumption at typical dietary levels is not associated with adverse health effects. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated thyme and its extracts. Research has explored potential antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of thyme, but more studies are needed to confirm these effects in humans.

Allergen info

Thyme is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
