Iranian thyme is a fragrant herb that is highly valued in Iranian cuisine and traditional medicine. The leaves are small, oval, and green, with a slightly silvery hue. They have a robust, earthy aroma and a warm, peppery taste with hints of mint and lemon, making them a delightful addition to various dishes. Iranian thyme is used to enhance dishes with its flavor, brew as tea for health benefits, and add a pleasant aroma in incense or potpourri.
