Mint Leaf (புதினா இலை) 100g

Mint is a popular herb that can be used fresh or dried in many dishes and infusions. Mint oil is often used in toothpaste, gum, candy, and beauty products.
Adding mint is a great way to add flavor to a dish or beverage without adding excessive calories, sugar or sodium.

Mint leaves are a tender herb (along with cilantro and basil), with gentle stems. They are best used raw or added at the end of cooking in order to maintain their delicate flavor and texture.

When buying mint, look for bright, unblemished leaves. Store in a plastic bag or loose plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Mint is relatively easy to grow and can even be grown in small pots on a sunny windowsill. Growing mint in your garden can help ward off ants and flies.
