Other comments :
It is believed that the word ''mint '' comes from a Greek legend of the nymph Minthe, who caught the attention of Hades. Hades's wife, Persephone, who was jealous, allegedly attacked Minthe and locked her in a mint.
Composed of about 60% L-Carvone, spearmint is the main precursor of natural L-Carvone. It is also possible to notice adulterations of this essential oil by adding L-Carvone.
