What it is

Organic peppermint leaf comes from the peppermint plant (Mentha piperita), a hybrid mint species. The leaves are harvested and typically dried for use in food products. Peppermint is known for its strong, refreshing aroma and flavor.

Why it's used

Peppermint leaf is used primarily as a flavoring agent in a wide variety of foods and beverages. It is commonly found in teas, candies, baked goods, and chewing gum, providing a distinct minty taste.

Health notes

Peppermint leaf is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a food flavoring. JECFA has evaluated peppermint and found no safety concerns. Some studies suggest peppermint may help with digestive discomfort, but more research is needed. At typical food intake levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Peppermint leaf is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
