peppermint
|
Also known as sweet mint, peppermint is a hybrid of spearmint and water mint
that is cultivated primarily for it's essential oil.
Peppermint is best known for its flavor in candy, gum and other sweets. It
is also popular in Turkish yogurt drinks.
Steep peppermint leaves in hot water and strain for a soothing tea that has a
calming effect on the stomach. Because it has a very strong flavor,
peppermint should be used sparingly in culinary applications.
When storing herbs and spices packaging is an important consideration. Plastic zip seal
bags allow aroma and taste to escape and shorten the flavor life of your herbs and spices.
We package our herbs and spices in food grade PET plastic jars. These clear, dense jars
allow you to see your herbs and spices while still sealing in all the aroma and flavor so you
get maximum life from your ingredients.
