Peppermint is a familiar herb known for its aromatics and healthful qualities. Commonly found in herb gardens, peppermint leaves have been used in the culinary and healing arts for centuries. Peppermint is thought to be a natural hybrid between spearmint and water mint resulting in one of the most popular herbs employed today. Our peppermint powder is milled from organic Mentha x piperita. Peppermint leaf powder makes a delicious addition to tea blends, baked goods, syrups, and confectionaries.
Peppermint has been employed for its beneficial uses since the times of ancient Rome. While this familiar plant is often distilled for its volatile oils, peppermint leaf remains a go-to herb in home apothecaries and gardens around the world. Peppermint has a long history of use in traditional healing practices as a tonic to support the daily functioning of the digestive tract and for its uplifting and refreshing aromatics. Peppermint tea is often drunk after meals and the leaf added to improve the flavor of herbal formulations while imparting its healthful qualities.
A versatile and enjoyable herb, peppermint can be found in chewing gums, candies, toothpastes, energy drinks, herbal teas, and so much more. Invigorating and refreshing, leaves plucked directly from the plant were once chewed to freshen the breath. Peppermint has even been distilled into liqueurs and enjoyed as a post-meal digestif.
Mentha x piperita is thought to be a naturally occurring hybrid between spearmint and water mint. Native to Europe and the Middle East, peppermint has been naturalized around the globe and is a common sight in most herb gardens. Peppermint is an herbaceous perennial with square stems, dark green leaves, and spikes of small, purple flowers. Rhizomatous by nature, peppermint is fast-growing and can quickly spread. Thriving especially well in moist habitats, this member of the Lamiaceae family can be identified along stream banks in the wild. The leaves and stems of peppermint contain volatile oils, one of which is menthol, giving the herb its recognizable fragrance and cooling sensation.
