Fresh mint for decoration (optional)
Description
Fresh mint for decoration (optional) has an intense, refreshing aroma with a minty note and bright green, serrated leaves with a delicate, elegant structure that immediately catch the eye and add freshness to dishes. It is low in calories, provides small amounts of vitamins A and C, minerals such as iron and manganese, as well as antioxidants and essential oils that aid digestion, have anti-inflammatory properties, and refresh breath. In the kitchen, mint works well as a decoration and an addition to drinks (cocktails, tea), desserts, salads, yogurt sauces, lamb dishes, and Mediterranean and Arabic cuisine, enhancing flavor and adding a slightly cooling touch. To keep it fresh, do not wash the leaves before storing; wrap them in a lightly damp paper towel and place them in an airtight bag or put a bunch in a glass of water covered with plastic wrap and store in the fridge; you can also freeze the leaves in ice cubes with water or oil.
