Mint

Spices, Herbs and Seasonings

Mentha, commonly known as mint, is a genus of flowering plants in the mint family, estimated to include 18 to 24 species, though the exact distinction between species remains unclear because hybridization occurs naturally where species' ranges overlap, producing many recognized hybrids and cultivars. The genus has a wide, subcosmopolitan distribution, growing best in wet environments and moist soils.
