Thyme (thyme, Bogorodskaya herb). Savory and thyme: differences and beneficial properties

The consonance of the words “thyme” and “savory” gave reason to assume that these are either the same plant or close relatives. Is it so? To understand the difference between thyme and savory, you need to get to know each of them. The only thing that can be said is that it is absolutely different plants, among the points of contact having only a common family and belonging to medicinal herbs.

Savory and thyme: photos and main characteristics of plants

Garden savory has the Latin name satureja hortensis, which no longer gives any reason to see the similarity between it and thyme. The plant is an annual; it can reach a height of 70 cm; the bushes often form dense, dense thickets. Can be grown as a hedge, but is mainly valued for its culinary and folk medicine. Its spicy aroma and taste led to its name “pepper grass”.

  • Interestingly, the chemical composition of this plant contains up to 5% protein and large share essential oils. Its main focus is strengthening the immune system, having an anthelmintic effect, disinfecting and strengthening. Required when intestinal disorders and to stimulate appetite. In tandem with yarrow, it not only works as a hemostatic agent, but also improves overall tone and invigorates perfectly. In addition, it has been scientifically proven that savory is also effective against cancer.
  • How food product, savory is an excellent seasoning for any meat and salad, especially those based on cucumber; can be used as a breading product. Its ability to facilitate the digestion of heavy dishes is highly valued in nutrition.

And if savory and thyme are different herbs, then thyme and thyme are the same plant with Latin name thymusserpyllum. Spicy medicinal herb of the Lamiaceae family, part of the ground cover group. A perennial, the height of the bushes does not exceed 20 cm, blooms from mid-summer until its end, forming small pink-violet flowers that cover the top of each shoot with lush caps. In the garden it is usually used as a background for a flower bed, center or border of a flower garden, garden path. Due to the fact that the thyme bushes do not spread out, the initially specified shape will be maintained throughout the year, which allows you to fill certain areas in connection with the intended design.

  • In folk medicine, creeping thyme is valued for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, its ability to relieve fever and ease painful spasms. Thyme-based decoctions allow you to separate mucus from the lungs and bronchi and calm the nervous system. However, the use of this herb is undesirable in pregnant women, as well as in cases of liver and kidney failure, and cardiac disorders.

Garden savory: growing from seeds and caring for the plant

You can grow savory from seeds both in open ground and on a windowsill, although you will need a large container here, since the bushes are quite tall. The tops can be cut off twice a year, after which they need to be dried and stored in a dark, cool place.

  • For 1 sq.m. Usually there are only 300 g of seeds, which indicates a high degree of germination of savory. Due to the good hardiness of the plant, it can be sown even under snow, but in a snowless winter you will have to cover the area with seedlings thick fabric and spruce spruce branches.
  • Savory soil needs very nutritious soil, so when digging a plot, humus must be added there (up to 6 kg per 1 sq.m.), and it should be added to the substrate for seedlings complex fertilizer. Before sowing, the soil is moistened. If sowing is done in winter, then the area needs to be moistened a day before the procedure.
  • Anyone can have soil in the garden chemical composition, however, savory most appreciates beds that previously contained cabbage, tomatoes or cucumbers, or areas where organic matter was added. However, it is much more important to choose a zone where there will be an abundance sunlight, since savory is very light-loving.
  • Sowing is carried out along grooves, the depth of which is 0.5-1 cm, and the distance between them must be at least 15 cm due to active growth savory
  • The plant is sown for seedlings in March, in open ground- when the earth is calmly loosened: late April or early May. Pre-winter sowing could be carried out at the end of October.
  • Professionals recommend pre-soaking the seeds in water (18-24 hours) and also treating them with a weak solution of potassium permanganate to improve their quality. After this, be sure to dry the seeds on parchment, and you can lower them into the substrate.
  • After sowing, the furrows need to be filled with sand, moistened, and covered with film or thick cloth. Before emergence (9-10 days), the material is removed only to moisten the soil, and it is advisable to keep the container with seedlings away from sunlight.

If necessary, seedlings can be pruned, but often this is not necessary. Seedlings can be transplanted into open ground 3-4 weeks after sowing. If the cultivation was carried out immediately on a summer cottage, the covering material is removed on the 14th-15th day.

Further care for savory consists only of rare watering (usually the plant has enough natural moisture), weeding and loosening. The primary cutting is made at the very beginning of flowering, the tops are removed before the shoots branch.

Despite the fact that savory is an annual plant, repeat sowing is not required, since the flowering bushes begin to reproduce by self-sowing, and without additional care these seeds take root well.

Creeping thyme: growing at home

Thyme can grow not only in a summer cottage, but also on a windowsill, where it is grown not as an ornamental bush, but for medicinal or food purposes. As a herb, it is ideal for meat and fish dishes, sauces, and marinades. Can be used in herbal infusion or decoction, as well as to add flavor to any tea. For this purpose, during flowering, the tops with inflorescences are collected, after which they are dried and crushed.

Growing thyme, like savory, is possible for any gardener; the technology does not require much effort:

  • Distribute drainage material along the bottom of a small container (10-15 cm high), pour soil on top, which is recommended to be combined with a small amount sand for looseness.
  • Seeds are buried in a moistened substrate, spaced at a short distance from each other: thyme has good germination, so the seedlings will sit tightly.
  • You need to sprinkle sand on top (1 cm layer) and moisten it again. It is not necessary to cover the container with film - it is much more important to place it in the shade and ensure that the soil remains moist.

After 3-4 weeks you can move the pot to the window, and after 2-2.5 months. cut off the shoots for consumption. Caring for thyme includes only watering as the soil dries out, as well as rare application of mineral fertilizers.

How many can you count? common features in thyme and savory? Not too much. These spices, of course, are relatives, but they are not at all interchangeable and have different indications for use in medicinal purposes, and even outwardly it is simply impossible to confuse them. But, definitely, each of these herbs is worthy of growing both in a summer cottage and on a windowsill.

I’ve been wanting to write about savory for a long time, but I couldn’t get around to it, but today I was asked about cumin and cumin, and I decided to force myself to write about both.

So, many people think that thyme and savory are either the same thing or relatives. Like cumin and cumin.

No. These are completely different plants, some are just similar in name, others in appearance.

Thyme - Thymus serpyllum - plants from the Thyme family. Another name for it creeping thyme and if he is a relative to anyone, then it is to Thyme - Thymus vulgaris. Common thyme (vulgaris vulgaris) is also sufficient famous plant and is widely used in cooking. Thyme differs from thyme in a richer taste and aroma. Common thyme is more delicate.

Thyme improves memory and is good antiseptic, due to its chemical composition.
The ancient Egyptians used thyme as one of the ingredients in the complex embalming process. They also used the herb thyme for leprosy and paralysis.

The name thyme comes from the Greek thymiama (incense, fragrant smoking) - the Greeks dedicated it to Aphrodite and burned it in the temples of the goddess. The fragrant smoke rising to the sky meant that the goddess accepted the sacrifice.
It has long been believed that thyme gives courage, and another suggestion for the origin of the name is from the Greek thymon - strength. Even later, there was the Latin Thymus - strength, and Roman soldiers took baths with thyme before battle to increase vitality and courage.

Scottish highlanders drank tea with wild thyme for the same purpose. The glory of the plant as a symbol of courage has passed through the centuries - in medieval Europe ladies gave a sprig of thyme and embroidered it on the shirts of their knights in the hope that the thyme would give them courage in battle and remind them.

Theophrastus and Avicenna also wrote about the properties of thyme, who included thyme seeds in complex medicines based on honey, vinegar, oil or wine, along with the seeds of caraway, celery, parsley, mint, valerian, hyssop, asafoetida and garlic.

An old Irish legend says: if you wash your eyes with dew collected from thyme bushes at dawn on the first of May (after Walpurgis Night), then you can see fairies.

Even modern experts claim that “thyme helps insecure, sensitive, nervous people to open up; restores strength and awakens emotions...”

Savory- The most popular are two types of savory. Mountain savory- Satureja montana And Garden savory - Satureja hortensis. What thyme and savory have in common is that they belong to the same family - Lamiaceae, but in fact they are very distant relatives. If savory has a slightly similar aroma, it is only like thyme (not other thymes), and in its absence you can, of course, replace it with thyme, but the replacement will not be equivalent or complete, since the difference is still big. Thyme has a fresh, herbaceous-spicy aroma, while savory has a warm, spicy-balsamic, sweet-woody aroma. It opens up especially strongly during heat treatment. In herbal form the aroma is not as pronounced.


The ancient Romans served savory sauce with vinegar for fish and meat dishes. Later in Europe, savory was added as a filling to veal and turkey rolls, to sauces for fish and other dishes, to sausages and pork pies.

It is now used almost exclusively in combination with beans, peas and other beans. Savory fights the notorious side effect these legumes, that is, the formation of intestinal gases. Therefore, in Germany and the Netherlands, savory is called “legume grass.” Savory helps in digesting starchy foods and heavy game.

In Bulgaria, this plant (Bulgarian chubritsa) is a popular seasoning for dishes made from vegetables, meat and fish, and is included in the recipe for “Bulgarian ketchup”. Since ancient times it has been used as a seasoning in Moldavian cuisine, where it is called chimbru. It is actively used in Armenian, Georgian and Uzbek cuisine, where it is called accordingly citron, kondari And jambul . In many national cuisines widely used for salting and pickling vegetables.

For a long time I could not find savory in our market. I'm all exhausted. And finally, after much arguing with the sellers, I found out what we should look for kondari. For a long time I demanded from my suppliers that they bring me savory.
- Thyme?
- No, savory.
- What else is it called?
- Satureya. - Do you need to describe the eyes?

One day he catches me by the sleeve:
- I brought you thyme.
- I need savory, not thyme.
- Yes, savory. This is Kondari.
I smell it, but I don’t understand anything. He pours a handful into my hands: - Rub it. - I rub it, I smell it, at this time he is grinding the thyme. Let's compare. Well, exactly! Savory! And there were already people around, we were still yelling and arguing. :) I tell him - show this, show him, I myself have forgotten what savory looks like. By the way, while I didn’t have it, I successfully replaced the grass with essential oil. I dipped the tip of a toothpick into a bottle of oil, and then the same tip into a pot with the same gyuvech. No more! Since the oil is highly concentrated, drop one drop and ruin the dish. Don't believe me? Well then check it for yourself, and then you’ll say - you should have listened smart person! :)

P.S. Something turned out long, about cumin and cumin only separately. In general, both thyme and savory are quite worthy seasonings that are worth mastering and loving. I recommend.

The soft pink hue of thyme flowers can decorate any country cottage area, and tea with thyme gives peace of mind with its delicate taste and deep aroma. However, not everyone realizes that thyme and thyme are the same thing.

Let's figure out how the confusion with the names of the plant arose, what the difference is and what causes it.

A little history

Thyme was in demand even among ancient Roman soldiers, who took a healing bath with its decoction. Such ablutions brought vigor and charged with energy.

The Romans' neighbors also benefited from the healing powers of thyme. The Greeks used the miraculous herb to relieve inflammation and increase libido.

In the Middle Ages, a romantic custom was associated with the plant. Knights setting off on a long journey received a dried sprig of thyme from their lovers as a farewell. The gift received served magical amulet, protecting against any dangers.

Similarities and differences

Both plants come from the common Lamiaceae family. Thyme bushes are low-growing and perennial. Their stems with beautiful and fragrant flowers intertwine in various directions and try to conquer as much space as possible.

Thyme is divided into many types:

  • flea;
  • ordinary;
  • dorflera;
  • early;
  • lemon-smelling;
  • creeping;
  • subarctic and others.

From the presented list, it is the creeping representative that is called thyme.

What is the difference between thyme and thyme?

It can be noted that he:

  1. It is distinguished by less splendor and brightness of inflorescences, as well as a thicker root system and a wide stem.
  2. It prefers rocky soil and also grows in the steppe, but sometimes it can be found in forest clearings.

The plants do not differ in terms of beneficial properties and contraindications. Thus, it is more appropriate to call all types thyme, so as not to be completely mistaken.

It is also noteworthy that, even knowing external features species can be mistaken when identifying them. Forest and domesticated shrubs are different from each other in many ways:

  1. A forest plant will have thin shoots, long foliage, less saturated flowers and barely visible inflorescences, but at the same time it will surprise you with the richness and intensity of its aroma.
  2. Human care, on the contrary, will please the eye with the largeness and brightness of the flowers, but will practically deprive them of their smell.

Confusion with names also depends on linguistic features. So, for example, in Ukraine, thyme is “thyme,” which causes some confusion among Russian speakers. In the vast expanses of our vast Motherland, there are also many variations among the population. Some people call thyme the Mother of God herb or flypalm, and others call it bonnet or motherwort.

Benefit and Harm

The uses of thyme are very diverse and are explained by its extensive beneficial properties. With it you can:

  1. Relieve rheumatic pain, inflammation and swelling.
  2. Eliminate diarrhea, flatulence, skin diseases.
  3. Cure colds and even alcoholism. In the second case, thyme begins to cause a gag reflex when drinking alcohol and thus gradually relieves addiction.
  4. Restore libido and shrink the prostate.
  5. Get rid of unpleasant odor from the oral cavity.
  6. Bring a person out of a fainting state.
  7. Normalize work nervous system and stabilize sleep.
  8. Eliminate dandruff and strengthen hair follicles and nails.

There was room for thyme and Food Industry. It is used as a seasoning for a variety of dishes, sausages and cucumber marinades, and is also included in teas and alcoholic products.

Like any product, thyme is not without contraindications. These include:

  • gastrointestinal diseases;
  • renal and liver failure;
  • diseases of the cardiovascular system;
  • allergic reactions.

Overuse can lead to nausea, dizziness and pain. Hypertensive and hypotensive patients should be especially careful about overdose, as it affects arterial pressure and is fraught with its jumps.

The benefits of shrubs can be greatly affected by poor soil or neglected care, so it is safer to grow the plant yourself.

When gardening, be guided by the following points:

  1. Find a place with plenty of sunlight.
  2. Prepare the area by pulling out the remaining roots. Get rid of the weeds.
  3. Fertilize the soil thoroughly with high-quality manure or by special means containing phosphorus and potassium.
  4. Dig up the soil and feed it with 20g of urea.
  5. Sow the seeds after 24 hours, leaving a space of 40 cm between the formed beds.
  6. Fill with a centimeter of sand and use film for cover.

The best sowing time is early April. After a couple of weeks you will be able to admire the first shoots. Timely weeding, watering and loosening will allow the bushes to please you for about five years.

Note! Herbs dried and ground for collection can be stored for two years without losing their beneficial properties.

Another brother

If everything becomes clear with thyme, then the word “savory” raises further questions. It is not uncommon for unfortunate thyme to be called this word, but this is completely wrong. Although the plants belong to the same family, they have a number of differences:

  1. Lifespan. Unlike perennial thyme, savory only lives for one year, so it ripens faster.
  2. Smell and taste. The aroma of savory is completely different, and the plant tastes like black pepper.
  3. Care. Savory is whimsical and difficult to breed. Because of rapid growth there is no point in decorating flower beds in the areas with it or making alpine slides.
  4. Use in dishes. If thyme is more suitable for protein dishes of animal origin, then savory is better revealed in vegetable proteins, such as beans or lentils.

Conclusion

Now, when the opportunity arises, you can safely show off your knowledge. If you are interested in the benefits of thyme, but do not feel like a skilled enough gardener, then do not worry. It is affordable in price and can be bought with peace of mind at a pharmacy for medicinal purposes or in a supermarket for food purposes.

Don't forget to add delicious seasoning into dishes and drinks to truly enjoy its taste and benefits.

It just so happened that two plants of the Lamiaceae family received consonant names among the people - savory and thyme. “What is the difference between them, both are a spice and a medicine,” sometimes say skeptics who are not too familiar with botany. But there are much more differences than common features. Professionals in cooking or medicine can accurately identify them, but what about mere mortals?

Both spice and medicine

Since the ninth century, when thyme and savory began to win the favor of the inhabitants of Western and of Eastern Europe, these guests from the Mediterranean were studied not only as spices, but also as medicinal raw materials. Medieval treatises on medicine mention drugs made from them. In Russian herbalists these plants are described as effective remedy for insect bites, especially poisonous ones, as well as for pain in the head, heart, stomach and other ailments.

Bogorodskaya grass

This perennial is known to many under the names thyme, cap, small mother. But it does not at all follow from this that the acquaintance took place with the same plant. Biologists count about 150 species of thyme, among which the most popular are ordinary thyme with its lemon variety, Bogorodsky Semko, rainbow, and creeping. The latter, in fact, under the name Thymus serpyllum is also recognized in official medicine as a medicinal plant.

Usually these are low shrubs about 15 cm, and there are even dwarfs, for example, the Epin variety, which rises only 50 mm above the soil. Only the shoots of the rainbow can reach a quarter of a meter in height. Young herbaceous stems are pubescent, bearing centimeter-long leaves shaped like a lancet. The tip of the shoot is crowned with a head of small flowers - white, pink, bluish or with purple hues

The plant thrives on sunny rocky ridges and sandy soils , does not tolerate excessive moisture. Due to these qualities it is used in decoration alpine slides. Single compact bushes look good, but a ribbon or carpet formed during group plantings is no less decorative. If you cut the stems with opened flowers in July, you will get a double effect: at the same time you will stock up on a spice with a delicate aroma and medicinal raw materials. After this, new grassy shoots form on the branches, and in August they will also bloom.

Now in cooking, mala materka is considered an excellent spicy addition for meat, fish, and cheeses. It is used in the preparation of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. In order for the dish to absorb the aromas of thyme as much as possible, it is added in the middle of the cooking process, sometimes even at the beginning.

Green healer thyme

The beneficial effects of thyme on the respiratory and digestive systems have long been noticed and successfully used.

The ancient Egyptians used it for mummification, and in combination with other drugs they used it to treat leprosy and paralysis. Already in the Middle Ages, its varieties gained the fame of valuable medicinal plant and affordable gourmet seasoning.

Traditional healers use Bogorodsk grass to treat:

For dermatologists and cosmetologists, thyme is a good helper.

However, despite the mass positive properties, there are clear contraindications for the use of this herb:

  • kidney and liver diseases;
  • pregnancy;
  • cardiovascular diseases;
  • peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum.

Savory is almost the namesake of thyme

It is known that the ancient Greeks and Romans valued savory, and not only for its balsamic aroma: a mixture of this spice with vinegar can replace salt and pepper and facilitate the process of assimilation of legume and game dishes. Today, savory is considered a good addition to dishes made from rabbit, chicken and beef. Unlike thyme, satura is added only at the end of heat treatment: the effect high temperatures longer than three minutes will degrade the taste.

You can make a very delicious dressing for potato salad by adding savory and lemon zest. vegetable oil. It is acceptable to add fresh herbs to a salad or side dish.

Baking with this herb turns out to be interesting, but it will require almost virtuoso precision when choosing a dose - otherwise the cake will be hopelessly spoiled. Some housewives are confident that jars of sealed pickles and marinades will never ferment if kondari is added to them. They also fumigate cow's udders and milk jugs with the smoke of this plant so that it stays fresh longer.

Family ties

When questions arise about what is the difference between thyme and thyme, are there any differences, and is it not the same plant, we can responsibly say that these are subshrubs that are very closely related. But thyme has a more delicate smell and a softer taste. A medicinal properties are the same.

But it is impossible to say that rosemary and thyme are the same thing. At all. Despite the fact that both plants are from the Lamiaceae family, it is even difficult to confuse them externally: one shrub rises up to two meters, the other does not reach 30 cm. There are also differences in properties.

Rosemary - immune stimulant, has anti-inflammatory, tonic, wound-healing, choleretic, antidepressant, antioxidant effects and smells like camphor or incense. Another valuable property: can help with sexual weakness and alleviate the condition of male and female menopause. But you need to be very careful when handling sea dew or bridal dress (this is also the name of this plant), since taking infusions from it can raise blood pressure.

Yes, the names are similar: savory and thyme, but these are not the same plant, and they are different. After all, thyme is a perennial subshrub, and savory herb lives only one year. And if you look closely at them, it’s not so difficult to notice the difference. Well, when you smell first a sprig of one and then the other, you will no longer be the same: the fresh and spicy aroma of thyme is strikingly different from the balsamic smell of the Mediterranean plant, the peppery taste of which cannot be confused with anything else.

And you won’t be confused by the question “for filling”: kondari is savory or thyme. Now you know for sure that kondari is the Georgian name for annual savory. By the way, if you decide to experiment, it’s worth considering that replacing one herb with another is not always possible. But who knows, maybe you will like the new culinary variation more.

Some medicinal people Herbs can be confused because of similar aromas (lemon balm and mint) or similar leaves or other parts of the plant in appearance (fennel and dill, cilantro and parsley). Thyme and savory can be confused only because of the similarity of names. Plants are related in use in folk medicine and cooking, some beneficial features- but that's about the similarities medicinal herbs are ending.

Main differences

Thyme and garden savory differ in the following characteristics:

  1. 1. Thyme covers the surface of the earth, “taking” as much territory as possible. Savory grows in small bushes, but is larger in height than the plant with which it is usually confused.
  2. 2. Savory grows for one year, that is, this plant is annual, while thyme is perennial (can grow for about 5 years).
  3. 3. Thyme has flowers that have a purple-pink hue, while savory blooms with icy blue, pale pink, dull purple inflorescences.
  4. 4. Plants differ in taste and smell: savory has a taste reminiscent of black pepper, and the aroma is spicy and balsamic. Thyme has a delicate, light and soft bouquet, which is why the plant is used as a spice.
  5. 5. The difference lies in the leaves of the plant: in savory they are branched and erect, in thyme they are small and oval.
  6. 6. Both plants bear fruit, the seeds germinate well, but in savory the fruits are nuts, while in thyme they are boxes with 4 balls inside.

By the way, thyme also has a second name - in common people it is called “thyme”, and savory is also called pepper grass or savory. Both plants can be used as ornamental plants, and both also contain a large number of essential oils.
