How big a sprig? You must be specific. But 1/2 tsp dry ground thyme = 1 tsp fresh thyme if that is any help. That's the leaves not including the stem.
There are approximately 48 teaspoons in a pound of dried thyme. Since a typical teaspoon of dried thyme weighs about 1 gram, and there are about 454 grams in a pound, you can calculate that 454 grams divided by 9 grams (the weight of a teaspoon) equals around 48 teaspoons. However, it's important to note that fresh thyme has a different weight-to-volume ratio.
The best way to use a thyme sprig in cooking is to add it to the dish early on in the cooking process to allow its flavor to infuse throughout the dish. Remove the sprig before serving to avoid a strong, woody texture.
A sprig of thyme refers to a small, typically fresh, piece of the thyme herb, which includes several leaves and possibly a short section of the stem. It's often used in cooking to impart flavor to dishes. In recipes, a sprig usually indicates a single piece rather than a measured amount, allowing for a natural and aromatic addition to various cuisines.
With thyme one fresh sprig equals one-half teaspoon of dried thyme. In general, use two to three times the amount of fresh thyme as dried. When adding to soups and stews, crush the leaves between your hands before stirring it in your recipe.
1 teaspoon
Generally, one sprig of fresh thyme is equivalent to about 1/3 teaspoon of dried thyme. Therefore, 12 sprigs would equal approximately 4 teaspoons of dried thyme. If you prefer to measure in tablespoons, that would be about 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. Keep in mind that dried herbs are more concentrated in flavor than fresh ones, so adjust to taste if needed.
