The plant chosen for today is a classic mint. Who hasn't made a good mojito with mint? This is a classic medicinal plant, especially for its positive effects on the digestive system.
In Mediterranean cuisine it is often added to soups, sauces or stews. It is even used to season roasts.
As a vegetable garden plant it has many benefits due to its aroma, it repels the most harmful insects in the garden such as aphids and mites. It also repels flies and mosquitoes, something that the gardener appreciates. Its flowers attract bees that will pollinate our crops.
It is a plant that likes deep and humid soil. It prefers semi-shade rather than direct sunlight. And you have to be careful with it if you plant it in the garden, since its rhizomes can turn it into an invasive plant and give us a lot of work.
Its scent is unmistakable and there are thousands of varieties so you can choose the one you like best.
