Spearmint Leaf

Botanical Name: Mentha spicata

Spearmint, a herb of the mint family, is native to the Mediterranean region and Asia. It has a minty and sweet flavour with citrusy undernotes. Spearmint is used as a medicinal and a culinary herb. It can be used in baking, chocolate sauces, salad dressing or infused as a delicious beverage. Spearmint is a great palate cleanser.
