Dried mint is a culinary herb made from the leaves of the mint plant (Mentha spp.) that have been dried for preservation. Mint is known for its refreshing flavor and aroma, and dried mint retains much of its characteristic taste, albeit in a more concentrated form.
Dried mint is a versatile herb that can be used in a variety of culinary applications. It is commonly used as a seasoning or flavoring agent in both savory and sweet dishes. Dried mint is particularly popular in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Indian cuisines, where it is used to flavor dishes such as rice pilafs, salads, yogurt sauces, soups, stews, meats, and teas.
