- Interesting Facts
- Mint has been mentioned in many ancient herbals including those of the Egyptians and Greeks. The word mint is derived from Minthe, a nymph in Greek mythology who was turned into a plant by a jealous Persephone. Pluto who was in love with Minthe could not turn her back, so he gave the plant a fragrant aroma instead.
