Mint -There are hundreds of species of mint, with the most common varieties being spearmint and peppermint. The consensus among most historians is that the term “mint” in historical texts is usually referring to peppermint. The use of mint dates all the way back to ancient Egypt. Archaeologists have found dried mint leaves in Egyptian tombs dating back to 1,000 BC. Mint also played major roles in Ancient Greek and Roman cultures. In Ancient Greek culture, the herb was seen as a symbol of hospitality and was also used in funeral rites along with rosemary. The Greeks also used mint in a traditional drink made with fermented barley. Ancient Romans used the herb as a flavoring in wines and sauces. According to Roman mythology, a jealous Persephone turned a naiad named Metha into the first mint plant.
