Plant used for flavouring in healthy meal (5)
I believe the answer is:
thyme
'plant used for flavouring' is the definition.
'thyme' can be an answer for 'plant' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'used for flavouring' bit.
'in healthy meal' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'THYME' is hidden in the letters of 'healthy meal'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for thyme that I've seen before include "Leaves used as seasoning" , "something fragrant?" , "Kind of mint" , "Culinary adjunct" , "Mint relative" .)
