Description:
Spearmint leaves, scientifically known as Mentha spicata, are aromatic perennial herbs belonging to the mint family. They are widely recognized for their refreshing flavor and aroma.
Spearmint is a very common herb in the Greek Salads and in Greek cuisine in general. Typically, when someone asks you to add some mint in the food or the salad in Greece, he refers to diosmos or spearmint.
The word mint comes from the Greek word mentha (or menta) and it used to be the herb of hospitality for the Ancient Greeks.
Spearmint leaves have a mild, sweet flavor with refreshing menthol undertones. Unlike peppermint, spearmint is less intense and has a slightly sweeter taste.
They are commonly used in culinary applications, such as flavoring teas, beverages, desserts, and savory dishes. They are also popular for making homemade mint sauces, syrups, and infusions.

Health Benefits: Spearmint leaves are often used for their potential health benefits. They are believed to aid digestion, alleviate nausea, freshen breath, and promote relaxation. Spearmint tea is particularly popular for its soothing properties.
