What it is

Peppermint is a hybrid mint species, a cross between watermint and spearmint. It is grown worldwide for its aromatic leaves and oil. The oil is extracted through steam distillation of the plant's leaves and flowering tops.

Why it's used

Peppermint is primarily used as a flavoring agent in a wide variety of foods and beverages. Its strong, refreshing taste makes it popular in chewing gum, candies, toothpaste, and baked goods. It is also commonly found in teas and ice cream.

Health notes

Peppermint and its extracts are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food flavoring. Peppermint oil has been used for centuries for its potential to soothe digestive discomfort, though scientific evidence is mixed. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated peppermint, but did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI).

Allergen info

Peppermint is not derived from any of the FDA's 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
