Dear all,
Sending photo of Mentha piperita commonly known as Peppermint.
Peppermint is currently one of the most economically important aromatic and medicinal crops produced in the U.S. The world production of peppermint oil is about 8000 tons per year. Peppermint leaf and oil are used for folk medicine, as flavoring agents, and in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products throughout the world. The essential oil is rich in menthol and menthorfuran.
regards
