Fresh mint is so much more than a dessert garnish. It can be used to make a variety of meat and poultry condiments, dessert recipes, and beverages.
This bulk mint is fine-dining restaurant quality, so it is fresher and higher quality than the fresh herbs found in most grocery stores.
Applications: Fresh mint leaves are a classic dessert garnish, but also have a lot of uses as an ingredient. Mint is often chopped or bruised prior to use, as this releases its aroma and flavor.
Use mint to make chutneys, sauces, and jellies for accompanying wild boar, pork (try it with kurobuta pork), duck and lamb. Fresh mint can be used to make all sorts of desserts (often by infusing or steeping the leaves), including ice cream. Mint is also delicious muddled into cocktails (mint juleps or mojitos) and non-alcoholic beverages like lemonade, coolers and iced tea. It can be blended to make herb infused oil.
Try freezing whole or chopped mint leaves in ice cubes for use in drinks! To make clearer ice cubes so you can better see the herbs, use distilled water and boil it prior to freezing.
Mint is added to some Middle Eastern-style teas, and can be steeped in hot water by itself to make mint tea, which is considered to be a natural stomachache remedy and is also a diuretic.
How many mint leaves are there in a pound?
Season: Available year round.
How to Store and Share: Fresh mint should be stored in a plastic bag in your refrigerator crisper drawer (between about 40-45 degrees) and used within a few days of arrival for best quality (though it should last for up to a week). For long term storage of mint, we recommend freezing the sprigs individually using the method described in How to Freeze Better at Home. Freezing will make the mint go limp, so it won’t be useful as a garnish, but it will retain its flavor for several months.
Specifications: Fresh bulk mint arrives freshly cut and cleaned (though we still recommend washing before use) in a large plastic bag within the shipping box.
The organic variety is usually spearmint, though other varieties may be substituted based on availability.
Shipping: Fedex Overnight
