Mentha piperita
plant overview
minty fresh peppermint
Peppermint is a member of the mint family that is
widely distributed throughout Europe, North America and just about
everywhere else. It is not a standard, naturally-occurring mint, however,
but a cross hybrid between spearmint and watermint that escaped cultivation
at some point. Nonetheless, the herb possesses all the aromatic and culinary
virtues of its botanical parents. The dried leaf is commonly found in tea
blends as well as herbal seasoning mixes. Dried peppermint is also used to
produce infusions and infused oils for use in cosmetics. The powdered herb
is encapsulated as a dietary supplement and also used to make natural dental
preparations, such as herbal tooth powders.
