Wild Thyme is a perennial herb belonging to the mint family, known scientifically as Thymus serpyllum. It typically grows low to the ground, forming dense mats of small, aromatic leaves. The plant produces tiny purple or pink flowers that attract various pollinators, including bees and butterflies. Wild thyme is often found in rocky or sandy soils, thriving in sunny locations across Europe and parts of Asia. This herb has been used for centuries in cooking and traditional medicine. Its leaves are rich in essential oils, which contribute to its strong flavor and potential health benefits. Wild Thyme is commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine, enhancing dishes like meats, stews, and sauces.
