The ancient Greeks used it in their baths and burnt it as incense in their temples, believing it was a source of courage. The spread of thyme throughout Europe was thought to be due to the Romans, as they used it to purify their rooms and to "give an aromatic flavour to cheese and liqueurs". In the European Middle Ages, the herb was placed beneath pillows to aid sleep and ward off nightmares. In this period, women also often gave knights and warriors gifts that included thyme leaves, as it was believed to bring courage to the bearer. Thyme was also used as incense and placed on coffins during funerals, as it was supposed to assure passage into the next life. The herb can be used to season meats, stocks, soups, and more. Not a lot of thyme (or time) is needed to elevate vegetables to the next level. A simple sprinkling while roasting or is enough to make the vegetables stand out on their own.

Leek Seeds Botanical name: Allium porrum Family: Amaryllidaceae Hs Code: 1209910000 Application: vegetable seeds for planting Quality: 98% min. Germination: 80% min. Origin: Egypt - Leek, (Allium porrum), is a hardy biennial plant of the amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae), and is grown as a vegetable. The leek is an ancient crop and is native to eastern Mediterranean lands and the Middle East. The plant is related to the onion and has a mild, sweet, onion-like flavor. Leek stalks are widely used in European soups and stews, especially as a complement to potatoes, and can be cooked whole as a vegetable. - Leeks are easy to grow from seed and tolerate standing in the field for an extended harvest, which takes place up to 6 months from planting. The soil in which it is grown has to be loose and drained well; leeks can be grown in the same regions where onions can be grown. Leeks usually reach maturity in autumn. Leeks can be bunched and harvested early when they are about the size of a finger or pencil, or they can be thinned and allowed to grow to a much larger mature size. Hilling leeks can produce better specimens. For more info about EIC and our products call us now
