dōTERRA Spearmint | Green Mint Oil
Curly mint is a sweet, refreshing herb used worldwide as a flavoring agent. It is commonly used in the production of gums, confectionery, and dental products due to its minty taste and breath-freshening properties. Curly mint differs significantly from peppermint, making it a milder option for use both in dishes and in topical applications. In the kitchen, curly mint is often added to salads, drinks, and desserts, but it can also be successfully used in homemade salad dressings and meat marinades.
