Fresh mint bunch
Description
Fresh mint bunch has intensely green, crinkled leaves with a pleasant, cooling aroma featuring a distinct hint of menthol and subtle sweetness; it attracts attention with its juicy color and delicate stems that easily crush to release essential oils. In the kitchen, it works perfectly in drinks and teas, as well as in salads, desserts, herb sauces, marinades, dishes with lamb or fish, and as a fresh decoration for mojito cocktails. Nutritionally, mint is low in calories, providing vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron and manganese, while the antioxidants and essential oils it contains support digestion, alleviate nausea, and have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. To maintain freshness, do not wash the leaves before storing, trim the ends, and place the bunch in a glass of water or wrap it in a damp paper towel and put it in the fridge; for longer storage, chopped mint can be frozen in ice cubes with water or oil.
