Product Description

Mentha spicata or spearmint is from the mint family of plants. It is native to Asia and Europe, but you will find spearmint in many diverse parts of the world. In ancient Greece3, Mentha was the nymph that loved Pluto. The jealous Prosperine turned to the nymph into the mint plant, giving the Mediterranean region a potent life-giving herb. In old Athens, the scent of mint was a perfume for the arms. The Romans and Greeks had mint crowns in their feasts, flavoring their sauces with it. Mint was part of Icelandic folk medicine, mentioned in their thirteenth-century writings. It would whiten their teeth and is today part of the toothpaste production industry. This perennial plant has leaves that shape into a spear-like form. It has a sweet taste that makes it a much-loved candy and chewing gum component. The Mediterranean Blue Zone residents brew its leaves into a tea to enjoy its amazing life-prolonging benefits. This batch contains 62% L-Carvone and 21.5% L Limonene.
