Details

Peppermint is a hybrid of spearmint and watermint, making it the matriarch of the mint family. A thousand years ago, peppermint escaped into the wild and now grows wild in North America and Europe, though it must remain close to its parent species to reproduce.

Peppermint is widely used in sauces for lamb and game, and in cream and milk desserts. It's usually eaten with chocolate. Mint has been used in gums, candies, and liquors since humans first learned to cook.

Dried peppermint leaves are still used in modern and traditional medicine. It is used to treat indigestion, nausea, and abdominal pain.
