Himalayan Thyme — Authentic Hill-Grown Dried Herb from Uttarakhand | Pahari Haat
Product Details
Pahari Haat Himalayan Thyme is genuinely grown in the Himalayan hills of Uttarakhand — distinct from the Mediterranean thyme (Thymus vulgaris) that dominates Indian markets. Hand-harvested, naturally dried, no additives. 20g, FSSAI Certified.
Most "thyme" sold in India is imported Mediterranean thyme or grown in plains nurseries. Himalayan wild thyme is often a genuinely different botanical variety, native to high-altitude regions, with its own distinct aromatic oil composition — research on Himalayan thyme accessions has documented variations in thymol, p-cymene, and other key aromatic compounds compared to Mediterranean-grown thyme.
What Is Himalayan Thyme?
Thyme is an aromatic herb long used in Mediterranean and global cooking. The thyme found growing wild in the Himalayan hills of Uttarakhand has adapted to a cooler, high-altitude mountain climate over generations, developing its own distinct character. Pahari Haat sources this thyme directly from Himalayan hill cultivation, hand-harvested and naturally dried without additives.
