Peppermint

Peppermint is a hybrid mint that is a cross between watermint and spearmint. It is known for its strong and refreshing aroma, which comes from its high menthol content. Peppermint plants have dark green leaves with reddish veins and produce small purple flowers. The leaves are often used in cooking and baking, as well as in teas and other beverages. Peppermint oil, extracted from the leaves, is commonly used in aromatherapy, personal care products, and as a flavoring in foods and candies. It is also believed to have various health benefits, such as aiding digestion and relieving headaches.
