Herb Mentha Mint, 2.5LP, 20-30CM

Mentha, commonly known as mint, is a popular genus of aromatic herbs in the Lamiaceae family. Mint is known for its refreshing, cooling flavor and scent, making it a favorite in both culinary and medicinal applications. There are many species and varieties of mint, including peppermint (Mentha × piperita) and spearmint (Mentha spicata), each with slightly different flavors and uses.

Mint plants are relatively easy to grow and can thrive in a variety of climates, though they prefer moist, well-drained soil and a sunny or partly shaded location. One thing to note about mint is that it tends to spread aggressively, so many gardeners grow it in containers or use barriers to keep it from overtaking other plants.

Culinary-wise, mint is often used to flavor teas, desserts, salads, and sauces, as well as in cocktails like mojitos and mint juleps. It also has medicinal properties, being used traditionally to aid in digestion, relieve headaches, or provide a cooling sensation for skin irritations.
