Mint

According to an ancient myth, mint took its name from Minthy Nymphae, who was trasnformed to a plant from Persephone, the daughter of Godess Demeter, as a punishment for lying with her husband and God of the Underworld (Hades), Plouton.

Mint is one of the most aromatic herbs in the world and is widely used as a cooking spice, as a beverage and essential oil. Our organic mint comes from the Pieria Mountains, where is farmed with special care and is hand-packaged, in order to keep intact its refreshment smell.

Mint is thought to have a strong healing action for the stomach and the digestive tract and is also known as a tonotic drink against common cold and its antiseptic and antifungal characteristics.

Our organic mint comes in the form of dried leaves in 15g packaging.

Cooking: Mint's leaves may be used for making sauces, such as yoghurt sauce, soups and dishes with vegetables or meat.

You may drink it hot or cold, sugar-free or with a small hint of honey or sugar.
