Shelf Life and Storage

Thyme can be stored at room temperature between 15 to 25 degrees Celcius. It has a shelf life of up to 3 days. You can extend its life by storing dried thyme in a jar in a cool and dry place. You can freeze it for an extended shelf life. You need to rinse it in cold water, strip the leaves, chop it finely, place it on a cube tray, and freeze it.

If you want to keep it fresh, you can do so by dipping the roots in a jar of water similar to how you would keep a flower with its stem intact. Wrap it in a damp paper towel and keep it in a refrigerator to retain moisture.
