The ancient Greeks used it in their baths and burnt it as incense in their temples, believing it was a source of courage. The spread of thyme throughout Europe was thought to be due to the Romans, as they used it to purify their rooms and to "give an aromatic flavour to cheese and liqueurs". In the European Middle Ages, the herb was placed beneath pillows to aid sleep and ward off nightmares. In this period, women also often gave knights and warriors gifts that included thyme leaves, as it was believed to bring courage to the bearer. Thyme was also used as incense and placed on coffins during funerals, as it was supposed to assure passage into the next life. The herb can be used to season meats, stocks, soups, and more. Not a lot of thyme (or time) is needed to elevate vegetables to the next level. A simple sprinkling while roasting or is enough to make the vegetables stand out on their own. It can even be used when baking by adding the herb into doughs and batters. FOR ORDERS AND INFO CONTACT US NOW (24/7)
