Fresh thyme is best stored in the refrigerator. You can wrap it loosely in a damp paper towel and place it in a plastic bag or container. Alternatively, stand the thyme sprigs upright in a glass of water, like flowers, and cover loosely with a plastic bag. Dried thyme should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat, to maintain its flavor and potency for up to a year.
