About Thyme, fresh
Fresh thyme is a woody Mediterranean herb used widely in European and American cooking. Fiber content is high relative to its weight, and it carries a modest protein profile for a leafy herb. Carbs are present but quantities used in cooking are small enough that the macros rarely matter. What matters is the fragrant, slightly minty, earthy flavor it lends to roasted meats, stews, marinades, and compound butters. Best used fresh or added early in slow cooking to develop depth.
