Mint is naturally low in calories and has long been used in Afghan, Turkish, and Middle Eastern kitchens both for flavour and as a soothing herbal infusion. Dried mint offers a convenient, long-lasting way to season lamb mince, yoghurt sauces, lentil soups, and rice dishes with a fresh, cooling note. Steep in hot water for a simple herbal tea, or sprinkle straight into your cooking.
