Mint
Mint is a fragrant perennial herb from the Lamiaceae family, recognized for its bright green leaves and cooling menthol flavor. Fresh mint leaves are widely used raw in both sweet and savory dishes, from Middle Eastern salads to herbal teas, while providing minimal calories and trace amounts of vitamins A and C. Its natural oils give it digestive-aiding properties, and varieties like peppermint and spearmint offer distinct intensity levels of its characteristic refreshing taste.
