Peppermint is possibly among the most popular herbaceous plants. It is not surprising because its unmistakable fragrance is essential for many drinks, sweets, and dishes.
Peppermint (Mentha × piperita, also called Mentha balsamea) is a hybrid mint, a cross of spearmint and watermint. Native to the Middle East and Europe, the plant is now widespread and grown in many parts of the world.
