Mint

Mint is a herb that comes from the leaves of the mint plant. It is widely used in cooking and food preparation due to its refreshing and aromatic flavour. Mint is commonly found in both sweet and savoury dishes and is known for its cooling effect on the palate.

Mint is typically grown in gardens or farms and harvested by picking the leaves. Once harvested, the leaves can be used fresh, dried, or frozen. To extract the flavour of mint, it can be crushed or chopped before being added to dishes or infused in liquids like teas or syrups.

Mint often appears on food labels as a flavouring agent, adding a fresh and zingy taste to products like chocolates, ice creams, sauces, and beverages. It is also frequently used in savoury dishes such as salads, marinades, and meat dishes to enhance the overall flavour profile. The versatility of mint makes it a popular choice in many cuisines around the world.
