THYME (Dried Leaves/Powder)
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) is an aromatic perennial herb from the mint family (Lamiaceae), featuring small, green-gray leaves with a warm, earthy flavor and subtle minty undertones. A staple in Nigerian and Mediterranean cuisines, it enhances soups, stews, marinades, and roasted meats. Our premium thyme is carefully harvested, sun-dried, and processed to retain maximum essential oil content and aroma.
