About
Dried thyme is a lightweight culinary herb that weighs about 2.5 ounces (71 grams) per US cup.
Dried thyme has a bulk density of about 2.5 ounces per cup (0.3 grams per milliliter), making it far lighter than water. Because its tiny, curled leaves leave plenty of empty air space when gathered, a full 1-quart (0.95-liter) container holds only about 10 ounces (284 grams). It occupies more than three times the space of table salt or granulated sugar of the same weight.
From Wikipedia
Thyme is a culinary herb consisting of the dried aerial parts of some members of the genus Thymus of flowering plants in the mint family Lamiaceae. Thymes are native to Mediterranean countries in North Africa, Levant and Southern Europe.
