Mint Local Herbs
Mint brings a cool, fresh aroma to drinks, dressings and dishes.
- Nutrition: Herbs are typically used in small amounts for flavour rather than as a main nutrient source.
- Enjoy: Use a little to season dressings, sauces or cooked dishes.
- Store: Refrigerate most fresh herbs; keep dried herbs sealed in a cool, dry place.
- Prepare: Rinse fresh herbs, remove tough stems and chop as needed. Remove bay leaves and woody stalks before serving.
- Our sourcing: Brand varies. We try to source locally when available.
These ingredients bring freshness to a plate and work well with contrasting textures such as cooked grains or crisp vegetables. Handle delicate leaves gently, and add dressings or finishing herbs near serving time. Dry washed leaves well when using them in salads so the dressing coats them rather than becoming watery. Natural produce varies in size, colour and ripeness through the season. If you are shopping for a particular recipe or occasion, our team can help you choose from what is currently available.
