What it is
A leafy culinary herb used in drinks, salads, sauces, and botanical infusions.
Plain-language buying tip
Choose spearmint for a softer, sweeter mint profile than peppermint.
Forms and use
Use fresh leaves in tea, salads, yogurt sauces, fruit, and grain dishes; steep dried leaf covered in hot water.
Common forms include fresh leaves, dried leaves, tea blends. Match the form to the job: visible ingredient, even distribution, or a slow infusion you can strain.
Storage
Keep dried spearmint tightly sealed, cool, dark, and dry.
Quick questions
What should I check before buying Spearmint?
