Description
"Peppermint extract is an herbal extract of peppermint (Mentha × piperita) made from peppermint leaves. Peppermint is a hybrid of water mint and spearmint and was indigenous to Europe and the Middle East before it became common in other regions, such as North America and Asia. Peppermint extract is commonly used in cooking, as a dietary supplement, as an herbal or alternative medicine, as a pest repellent and a flavor or fragrance agent for cleaning products, cosmetics, mouthwash, chewing gum, and candies.
