Fresh Mint (Spearmint or Peppermint)

Fresh Mint (Spearmint or Peppermint) is a fragrant leafy herb used worldwide in cuisines from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean to Southeast Asian and Latin American cooking; it's prized for its bright, cooling flavor and is commonly added fresh to salads, sauces, drinks and garnishes. Although usually used in small amounts, Fresh Mint (Spearmint or Peppermint) is nutrient-dense for an herb and provides notable amounts of vitamins and minerals — for example it contains about 101ug of vitamin K per 100g. In addition to vitamins and fiber, mint delivers aromatic compounds (like menthol) and plant antioxidants that contribute flavor and potential digestive soothing effects, making it a nutritious way to add big taste with very little energy.
