Peppermint

Peppermint is a hybrid plant that results from the cross between watermint and spearmint. Known for its cool, refreshing flavor, it is widely used in teas, candies, and essential oils. Peppermint plants have vibrant green leaves with a distinct, sharp aroma that comes from the menthol content in their oils. They thrive in moist, well-drained soil and often grow as perennial plants, spreading quickly through runners. Peppermint is not only popular in the kitchen but also has a long history of medicinal use, known for its ability to soothe digestive issues, relieve headaches, and provide respiratory relief.
