Divine Essence - Mint-arvensis (cornmint)

The mint family is very large: there are many species, each with its own scent.

Peppermint-Japanese, also known as Corn Mint, has a very fresh, menthol-like and spicy scent.

It’s an ornamental perennial used in cooking as a condiment.

Its leaves are used to season both salty and sweet dishes, salads, meats and soups.
