Dry Mint Leafसूखा पुदीना
Properties
Dry Mint Leaf (Mentha spicata), or dried spearmint/pudina, is highly aromatic and provides a cooling, refreshing taste. Drying mint actually concentrates its menthol flavor, making it stronger per gram than fresh mint. Crushed dry mint is widely used to flavor raitas, chutneys, marinades, and cooling summer drinks like Jaljeera.
