Spearmint: Mentha spicata (L.)
Why Spearmint? Made famous as a spicy and fresh flavor for gum and mints, spearmint does so much more than freshen bad breath. Spearmint can be used in a number of culinary preparations: potatoes, green peas, mint sauce, fruit salads, and even punches.

This herb is Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth and grown without the use of genetic engineering, artificial fertilizers, or pesticides.

Benefits: Spearmint, while popular in the culinary dishes, is a wonderful support to a healthy body.
