What it is

Organic spearmint leaf comes from the spearmint plant (Mentha spicata), a perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region and widely cultivated today. The leaves are harvested, dried, and often cut or ground for use in food products. It is known for its fresh, minty aroma and flavor.

Why it's used

Spearmint leaf is primarily used as a flavoring agent in a variety of foods and beverages. It is commonly found in teas, chewing gum, candies, and some baked goods. Its natural minty taste adds a refreshing quality to products.

Health notes

Spearmint leaf is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food flavoring. It is not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated spearmint and its extracts, and EFSA has also assessed its safety. Research has explored potential benefits of spearmint for cognitive function and other health areas, but more studies are needed to confirm these effects.

Allergen info

Spearmint leaf is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
