But this sweet and refreshing herb can be used to bring relief to sore muscles, too. It can also add a flavorful twist to your favorite meals.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Originally native to Europe and southern Asia, mint is now widely distributed around the world. Since hybridization between species\u00a0 can easily occur, it is difficult to determine exactly how many species exist. But it is estimated that at least 20 to 25 distinct species can be commonly found. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The most common mint, peppermint\u00a0(<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Mentha<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0x\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">piperita),<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0is a hybrid resulting from a cross between water mint (<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">M. aquatica<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">) and spearmint (<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">M.\u00a0spicata<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">). It\u2019s used as a flavoring in candies, toothpastes and beverages. It&#8217;s also included in some shampoos and soaps to add fragrance. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Spearmint is a common ingredient in both culinary and cosmetic products, as well. This species is one of the oldest recorded types of the herb, dating back to at least the first century. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Its use was mentioned by Pliny the Elder. References to spearmint can even be found in the Bible!\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the Kitchen<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Enjoying a cup of mint tea is the easiest way to utilize this cooling herb in the kitchen. But the plant, specifically spearmint, is used as an ingredient in a handful of other well-known beverages including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liquor.com\/recipes\/mojito\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mojitos<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liquor.com\/recipes\/mint-julep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mint juleps<\/a>, a cocktail seemingly ubiquitous at the Kentucky Derby. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Mint traditionally accompanies lamb and poultry dishes, especially when crafted into jelly. It is also widely used in Middle Eastern and Greek cuisine. Try it in soups, salads and sauces or whenever you\u2019re looking to add a fresh, bright flavor to your food.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The fresh herb is typically preferred to dried for cooking. Many chefs will keep a small pot growing on the kitchen windowsill to ensure that they always have a ready supply of the herb for their recipes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read more: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/herbal-bath-body-products-bring-garden-to-the-tub\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">These herbal bath and body products bring the garden to the tub!<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the Apothecary<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Mint has a long history of use in traditional folk medicine and is considered helpful for a wide variety of ailments.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A simple tea brewed from peppermint leaves is an excellent treatment for stomach upset and digestive complaints.
