Within a few hours of harvesting mint, it is chopped into approximately 2-4mm pieces and individually quick frozen (IQF) to allow for ease of handling. The IQF process means the fresh herb retains its best characteristics of good colour and strong aroma. It is the closest you can get to freshly picked from your own garden. Mint leaves have a warm, fresh, aromatic, sweet flavour with a cool aftertaste, and are used in teas, beverages, jellies, syrups, candies, and ice creams. In Middle Eastern cuisine, mint is used on lamb dishes, while in British cuisine and American cuisine, mint sauce and mint jelly are used, respectively.
