I’ve never heard of Spanish thyme 😊 what’s the difference between Spanish and regular thyme?

[@BLUEBELLE7599]

What is rooco??

[@saryarohit2925]

Roucou is a plant that has a fruit that gives a red colour. People sell it as a liquid and it is used to give foods, especially meats a reddish-brownish colour.
