Daily Feature Glossary Terms

A small leafed herb that is very popular in French cooking. It has a strong, somewhat minty flavor and is available in fresh or dried form. Thyme is used to season poultry, lamb, seafood and vegetables. To store, wrap fresh thyme in a paper towel, place in a plastic bag and keep in the refrigerator. Dried thyme can be stored for up to a year in a cool dry location out of the direct light. Dried thyme should be crushed in the palm of your hand to release its flavor before using.
