Description
Spearmint is a bright, cooling herb known for its clean, sweet aroma and gentle minty flavour. Lighter and smoother than peppermint, it offers a refreshing herbal note without overwhelming sharpness — making it perfect for both savoury and sweet dishes.
Traditionally used across Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and North African cooking, spearmint brings a burst of freshness to lamb, couscous, and tabbouleh. It’s also delightful in sauces, teas, and desserts where a softer mint note is preferred.
Use dried spearmint to lift salads, yoghurt dips, and vegetable dishes, or stir into marinades for chicken and fish. A pinch goes a long way, adding brightness and balance to rich or spicy foods.
