Spearmint is a perennial plant that grows 30cm–1 metre tall and flourishes in temperate climates. It is widely used in gums, candies, and dental products for its minty taste. Its sweet, refreshing and cleansing aroma promotes a fresh and invigorating atmosphere when diffused. In cooking, Spearmint is frequently used in salads, drinks, and desserts, but it can also be used in homemade salad dressings and to marinate meats.
