Fresh mint for decoration

Description

Fresh mint for decoration has an intense, refreshing flavor with a cool hint of menthol and subtle sweetness; its light green, serrated leaves and square stems add an elegant, natural touch to dishes. It works perfectly as a garnish and ingredient in cocktails (e.g., mojito), infusions, desserts, fruit salads, yogurts, herb sauces, dips, and with lamb and fish dishes, where it enlivens the flavor composition. Nutritionally, mint is low in calories, a source of vitamins A and C, iron, and antioxidants, and it also has properties that support digestion, alleviate stomach discomfort, and refresh breath. To maintain freshness, trim the ends of the stems and store them in a glass of water covered loosely with a bag in the fridge or wrap them in a damp paper towel in foil; you can also portion and freeze them in ice cubes with water or oil.
