About the Product

Guru Foods Dry Mint is processed from mint leaves and dried to reduce moisture while retaining their characteristic mint aroma and flavour.

Fresh mint requires washing, cleaning, chopping and refrigerated storage and has a relatively short usable life. Dry Mint provides a convenient pantry ingredient that can be measured and added whenever required.

The dried leaves can be used whole, lightly crushed or powdered, depending on the application.

Dry Mint is especially useful in professional kitchens and food manufacturing where easy handling, storage convenience and consistent portioning are important.

Ingredient

Dried Mint Leaves

If the actual commercial product contains any additional ingredient, processing aid or permitted additive, the final ingredient declaration should match the approved product specification and packaging.

How to Use

Dry Mint can be used directly in many preparations.

1. Take the required quantity of Guru Foods Dry Mint.
2. Lightly crush the dried leaves between the palms for a finer texture and stronger aroma, if desired.
3. Add directly during cooking or towards the finishing stage depending on the recipe.
4. For cold preparations such as raita or chutney, mix thoroughly and allow a short time for the mint to absorb moisture.
5. Adjust the quantity according to the desired mint flavour.

Because dried herbs have a concentrated character, it is generally best to start with a small quantity and adjust according to taste.

Rehydration Method

Rehydration is not necessary for every application.

Where softer mint leaves are required:

1. Take the required quantity of Dry Mint.
2. Add a small quantity of clean lukewarm water.
3. Allow the leaves to hydrate until softened.
4. Drain excess water, if necessary.
5. Use immediately in the desired preparation.

For soups, gravies, sauces and other moisture-rich dishes, Dry Mint can generally be added directly without separate rehydration.

For maximum aroma, lightly crush the leaves just before use where appropriate.

Separate rehydration is not necessary for most moisture-rich preparations.
