طرق حفظ الزعتر الأخضر

Method 1 – Drying: Rinse the thyme thoroughly and remove excess water.

Place the thyme on a tray in a well-ventilated area until completely dry, which takes about 2–3 days depending on the quantity and temperature.

After the thyme is dry, store part of it as whole leaves in airtight containers.

Grind the remaining dry thyme and store it in airtight containers for later use.

Method 2 – Olive Oil: Place fresh thyme in a sterilized container, cover with olive oil, and store in the refrigerator.

Method 3 – Freezing: Place the thyme in freezer-safe bags, press out the air, seal well, and store in the freezer.
