Peppermint and Spearmint are ancient heirlooms that date back to as early as 1500 B.C. The herbs are thought to have originated from North Africa and the Mediterranean, introduced as a natural hybrid cross between spearmint and water mint.
The strong-scented leaves of these plants are crushed and used to flavor a variety of products, including chewing gum, breath mints, and teas. They are also commonly found in shampoos, conditioners, toothpastes, and skincare products.
Reaching a mature height of approximately 2 feet, these plants display dozens of shiny, bumpy leaves that measure 1 to 2 inches in length. The stems are smooth and red in color, while the blooms range from light pink to purple, appearing throughout the summer months.
Spearmint, an ancient heirloom, originates from much of Europe and was introduced to North America in the late 1500s. Like Peppermint, Spearmint is fragrant and flavorful, with its leaves and oils used to flavor toothpastes, candies, breath mints, and chewing gum.
