Peppermint is characterised by an intense yet fresh menthol scent. It can be used with meats, fish, cheese, salads and various combinations of dishes. In addition, it is used as a flavouring addition to refreshing drinks. As a spice, fresh mint is most valuable and is also an excellent raw material for making medicinal teas.

Peppermint is an extremely easy plant to grow. It can be sown both in pots on a windowsill and in the garden.
