About Mint leaves

Mint leaves are fragrant herbs widely used in culinary and medicinal practices across the globe, particularly in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Known for their refreshing aroma and flavor, they are rich in vitamins A and C, essential for skin health and immune function, as well as minerals like iron, calcium, and potassium. Mint also contains powerful antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and volatile oils like menthol, which aid in digestion and provide soothing effects for upset stomachs. Frequently added to teas, desserts, and savory dishes, mint leaves are low in calories, making them a nutritious addition to various recipes. However, consuming excessive amounts may cause mild digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals. Easy to grow and versatile, mint is celebrated not only for its health benefits but also for its ability to enhance the flavor and freshness of countless dishes and beverages.
