Mint is a herbaceous aromatic plant with a special aroma from which the leaves are used, fresh or dried. Known since ancient times, mint has its roots in Greek mythology where it is identified with the nymph Minthi - from which the name derives the English name of the herb, mint. Mint is attributed with various medicinal and cosmetic properties, while the herb is associated with sensuality in the Arab world.
Mint has antibacterial properties, which combined with its aroma and fresh taste make it ideal for oral care products. Hippocrates recommended mint for indigestion, while it is also traditionally recommended for nausea and coughs.
Mint is one of the most important aromas for political cuisine, especially in combination with cinnamon in red sauces and marinades. In addition to food, mint is also used in sweets, while mint fans are constantly increasing as decoctions.
