For your kitchen, we offer this small plant that can supply you with peppermint leaves whenever you need them to flavor your culinary creations or dishes. Peppermint is a perennial plant that adapts to any type of climate, so much so that it can be found even in Kenya and Alaska. It does not require constant exposure to the sun, although bright places promote a higher concentration of essential oils. In winter, the aerial part tends to disappear if left outside. Water as needed. Transplantable from February to the end of September. Curiosity: Peppermint is the essential ingredient of Mojito and Hugo. It has digestive, antispasmodic, and antiseptic properties. Mint-based rinses also relieve sore throats. It is also a deterrent for mice, as they cannot stand its scent. This fragrant herb has been considered a symbol of hospitality since ancient times.
