Description
Dried mint is obtained from mint leaves that are harvested and then dried to preserve their fresh and vibrant aroma. There are various types of mint, including peppermint and spearmint, but all share a characteristic refreshing fragrance and slightly tangy flavor, which is retained even after drying.
In cooking, dried mint is versatile and can be used in numerous preparations. It is particularly appreciated in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes, serving as a seasoning for grilled meats, salads, sauces like tzatziki, and vegetable-based dishes. It is also used in desserts such as cakes and cookies, as well as in hot or cold beverages like teas, infusions, or lemonades. Compared to fresh mint, dried mint has a more concentrated flavor and should be used sparingly to avoid overpowering other ingredients.
