Fresh Mint can be used alone or in combination with other, more mild ingredients. Its delightful spearmint flavor goes well with many fruits and vegetables including cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, sliced melon and berries. Because Mint is thought to aid in digestion, it is also popular in herb teas. This Mint is hand selected for excellent quality. Choose fresh-looking Mint with good color and a clean, fresh scent. Use soon after purchasing. To keep fresh, refrigerate in a plastic bag filled with air and securely closed. If leaves do become wilted, an ice water bath can revive them. Place Mint stem side down in a jar of water (similar to fresh flowers) and cover with a tightly closed plastic bag. Store away from ethylene-producing fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, bananas and peppers. Leaves should be washed before using.
