Roughly chopped fresh mint leaves are a versatile herb celebrated for their cooling flavor and vibrant aroma. Native to the Mediterranean region, mint has become a staple in global cuisines, from Middle Eastern tabbouleh to Indian chutneys and refreshing European teas. Rich in vitamins A and C, mint also contains antioxidants that may help combat inflammation and support overall health. Known for its digestive benefits, mint is often used to soothe indigestion and alleviate bloating. The leaves are naturally low in calories and fat, making them a healthy addition to salads, beverages, and marinades. While mint is generally beneficial, individuals with acid reflux may find its relaxing effect on the esophageal sphincter aggravating. Its bold, fresh taste can elevate a dish without relying on high-calorie flavor enhancers, offering a nutritious and flavorful way to enhance your meals.
