I know I’m probably not the best artist, but I wanted a drawing to go with my fanfiction “Fire and Runepowder “

Here we see what happened in the prologue, where Telvelni makes her deal with Thymes for the formula.

Dried thyme may seem like a humble addition to your spice rack, but don’t be fooled by its size or simplicity—this aromatic herb is a quiet powerhouse that can completely elevate your meals. At Farmonics, we believe that quality ingredients can bring extraordinary results to everyday cooking. When it comes to dried thyme, a single pinch can make a world of difference. Let’s explore five surprising ways dried thyme can transform your kitchen creations into something truly unforgettable. 1. Amplifies Flavor in Simple Dishe- One of the most shocking effects of dried thyme is its ability to add deep, complex flavor to even the simplest dishes. Whether you’re making a basic lentil soup, mashed potatoes, or sautéed vegetables, adding a small amount of thyme introduces earthy, slightly minty notes that enhance overall taste without overpowering the dish. It blends seamlessly into gravies, soups, and sauces—making your food taste like it simmered for hours, even when it didn’t. 2. Makes Marinades More Powerful- If you’re into grilling or roasting, dried thyme should be your go-to herb. Mixed with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and black pepper, thyme creates a bold, aromatic marinade for everything from chicken and paneer to mushrooms and tofu. Its essential oils infuse deeply into the ingredients, helping lock in moisture and flavor during cooking. Even just 30 minutes of marination can create restaurant-quality results. 3. Perfect in Indian-Italian Fusion - Surprisingly, thyme works beautifully in fusion recipes. Sprinkle a bit of dried thyme into your pasta made with Indian masala sauce, pizza with paneer toppings, or even on your tandoori naan with cheese. It complements Indian spices like cumin, coriander, and chili effortlessly, giving you a global flavor with a local twist. You’ll be amazed at how this one herb can bridge the gap between cuisines. 4. Enhances Homemade Spice Mixes - Want to create your own garam masala, herb salt, or seasoning blend? Add dried thyme. It offers a balanced herbal lift that complements pungent spices like cloves, cinnamon, and pepper. A pinch in your dry rubs or masala mixes makes them more nuanced and complex. Plus, Farmonics' dried thyme is free from fillers and preservatives, ensuring you're using only the purest flavor enhancer. 5. Healthier Salt Substitute - Trying to cut back on sodium without sacrificing taste? Dried thyme can be your secret weapon. It helps reduce dependency on salt by providing a naturally savory taste. Use it generously in soups, stews, and roasts to boost flavor without loading up on salt. It’s a smart, heart-healthy trick for anyone on a low-sodium diet. At Farmonics, we offer premium-grade dried thyme, carefully sun-dried and packed to retain its natural oils and aroma. It’s incredibly versatile, easy to store, and a must-have for both traditional and modern kitchens. If you haven’t tried cooking with dried thyme yet, now is the time to unlock its potential.
