Do You Know?
Mint
is an aromatic herb. It is incredibly versatile, and grows abundantly in many varieties, the most common of which are spearmint and peppermint.
Legend has it that during a fit of jealous rage, the Greek god Pluto’s wife transformed a beautiful nymph named Minthes into an ordinary garden plant. The heartbroken Pluto was unable to undo the magic, but did manage to cast a spell over the plant that imparted it with a lovely aroma – and this is where mint came from!
