Mint

Mint is a popular, aromatic herb from the Mentha genus, known for its refreshing flavor and used in culinary dishes, beverages, and health products like toothpaste and gum. It's a fast-growing perennial with square stems, opposite leaves, and small flowers, with common varieties including peppermint and spearmint. Mint is easy to grow but can spread aggressively, so it's often best contained in pots, and it offers benefits like aiding digestion and relieving cold symptoms.
