MINT is an aromatic herb plant with hundreds of varieties – the most common being peppermint and spearmint. Fresh mint has a cooling, refreshing and tangy flavor that works well in both sweet and savory dishes. Peppermint has long been associated with aiding digestion, thanks to the presence of the anti-spasmodic compound menthol. By relaxing intestinal muscle contractions, peppermint can be utilized to improve indigestion and symptoms of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).
