Description

Mints are aromatic herbs.

Fresh mint is usually preferred over dried mint when storage of the mint is not a problem.

The leaves have a pleasant warm, fresh, aromatic, sweet flavor with a cool aftertaste.

Mint leaves are used in teas, beverages, jellies, syrups, candies, and ice creams.

In Middle Eastern cuisine mint is used on lamb dishes.

n British cuisine, mint sauce is popular with lamb.

Mint essential oil and menthol are extensively used as flavorings in breath fresheners, drinks, antiseptic mouth rinses, toothpaste, chewing gum, desserts, and candies. The substances that give the mints their characteristic aromas and flavors are menthol (the main aroma of Peppermint, and Japanese Peppermint) and pulegone (in Pennyroyal and Corsican Mint).

The compound primarily responsible for the aroma and flavor of spearmint is R-carvone.

Methyl salicylate, commonly called “oil of wintergreen”, is often used as a mint flavouring for foods and candies due to its mint-like flavor.
