Dried spearmint
Dried spearmint is leaf sold whole, flaked or crumbled, providing a concentrated sweet, cool mint flavour in teas, sauces, salads and cooked foods.
About Dried spearmint
Dried spearmint is the dried leaf of the spearmint herb, sold as whole leaves, flakes or crumbled material. It is green to olive-brown and has a sweet, cool, minty aroma and flavour; drying produces a more concentrated, less fresh character than fresh leaves.
It is used in teas, sauces, salads and cooked foods, with the cut form affecting how quickly it releases flavour. Products may differ in leaf size and stem content. Dried spearmint is distinct from peppermint and from unspecified dried mint, which may refer to other mint types.
