Description
Mint (Mentha) is an aromatic herb in the mint family that is a cross between watermint and spearmint.
Native to Europe and Asia, it has been used for thousands of years for its pleasant, minty taste and health benefits.
Mint is used as a flavoring in breath mints, candies and other foods. Additionally, many people consume mint as a refreshing, caffeine-free tea.
Mint leaves contain several essential oils including menthol, menthone and limonene.
