Mint – a perennial herb valued for its fresh aroma and rich essential oil composition, particularly menthol, which gives a pleasant cooling sensation.
In cooking, mint is used both fresh and dried. Dried mint can be ground into powder and added to vegetable and fruit smoothies, confectionery, compotes, or cold icy drinks to give dishes a light refreshing note.
Beyond gastronomic applications, mint is widely used in medicine and cosmetology. Its properties help alleviate digestive disorders, soothe the nervous system, and improve skin condition thanks to its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties.
