About Mints

Mints, small candy or herbal lozenges, are typically made with sugar or artificial sweeteners and flavored with essential oils like peppermint or spearmint. Originating from herbal traditions that date back centuries, mint flavoring has roots in ancient Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, where mint leaves were prized for their refreshing aroma and digestive benefits. Nutritionally, mints provide little in the way of vitamins or minerals and are primarily used for freshening breath or soothing stomach discomfort. Sugar-based mints can contribute to tooth decay if consumed frequently, while sugar-free options—often sweetened with xylitol—may promote dental health by reducing harmful bacteria in the mouth. Mints are generally low in calories, but it’s important to consume them in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Choose varieties with natural ingredients to avoid excessive additives or artificial flavors.
