Botanical Name: Mentha piperita
Country of Origin: Egypt
English Name: Peppermint Leaves Powder
French Name: Poudre de Feuilles de Menthe Poivrée
Also Known As: Mentha Piperita Powder, Peppermint Herb Powder, Dried Peppermint Leaf Powder, Mint Leaf Powder, Peppermint Aerial Parts Powder
Part Used: Leaves and aerial parts of the plant, Mentha piperita
Description: Peppermint Leaves Powder is made from the finely milled aerial parts of Mentha piperita, a perennial aromatic herb in the Lamiaceae family. The plant develops upright square stems with lance-shaped, dark green leaves that are slightly textured and aromatic. Peppermint flowers appear in small clusters of purple to lilac along the upper stems during the summer, but the leaves used for powder are harvested at peak vegetative growth when the foliage is fully developed, vibrant, and rich in natural aromatic compounds.
Harvesting occurs when the leaves and tender stems are healthy and mature, ensuring uniformity in colour, size, and aroma. Only intact leaves are selected, preserving their natural structure and surface texture. This careful harvesting ensures the powder will have consistent colour and a fine, smooth texture while maintaining the plant’s identifiable characteristics.
After harvesting, the leaves are cleaned to remove dust, debris, and stems. The material is then dried using controlled low-temperature or air-drying methods, which preserves the natural green to olive-green colour and maintains the aromatic profile of the peppermint. Drying produces crisp, lightweight leaves that are ideal for milling without losing texture or fragrance.
The dried peppermint leaves are finely ground into a uniform powder, resulting in a smooth, free-flowing product with a vibrant green hue. The powder retains the characteristic minty aroma of the plant and is visually consistent, making it suitable for precise measurement, blending, and formulation. Its fine texture allows for easy incorporation into various culinary, cosmetic, and botanical applications.
Uses: Peppermint Leaves Powder is commonly used in culinary preparations such as teas, dry spice blends, sauces, baked goods, and beverages to provide mint flavour without visible leaf pieces. It is suitable for cosmetic and personal care products, including soaps, lotions, and bath items, for natural fragrance and colour. The powder can also be used in crafting projects, potpourri, and decorative displays where fine plant powders are preferred. Additionally, it is ideal for educational or botanical collections that demonstrate the morphology and aromatic profile of dried, milled peppermint aerial parts.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
