Wild Thyme (Cut-leaf mint)

Wild thyme or Cut-leaf mint is growing in popularity. We have it growing at the Wild Food Farm and its used a lot in our kitchen cafe at the Farm. It’s a hardy bush like its counter-part the round leaf mint or native basil, although much softer in both flavour and aroma, but you still know its there! It mixes easily with other compatible herbs in your cooking to create some unique dishes with that Australian botanical edge. It makes a great gift for those who love cooking and trying out new flavours, its quite exciting really to discover something that’s been around for many many years and is now making its way into restaurant kitchens throughout Australia.

As a garden plant is very hardy with beautiful purple flowers and a real bird and bee pleaser in the Spring.
