The potency of thyme leaves can differ between rubbed thyme and ground thyme due to the size of the particles and the surface area exposed. Rubbed thyme consists of whole leaves that have been crushed, preserving more of their essential oils and flavor, while ground thyme is finely powdered, which may lead to a quicker loss of potency due to increased oxidation. Additionally, ground thyme may provide a more intense flavor per volume because the smaller particles can release their oils more readily. Therefore, measurements must be adjusted based on the form used to achieve the desired potency in recipes.
