Dried Spearmint captures the essence of its fresh counterpart with a concentrated bouquet of cool, sweet, and aromatic flavors. The herb presents itself in a muted green hue, with crinkled leaves that release their refreshing scent upon the slightest touch. Favored in culinary uses for its versatility, Dried Spearmint elevates dishes with a gentle, minty zing. It shines in Mediterranean cuisine, gracing lamb, falafel, and tzatziki, and it is a delightful addition to beverages like herbal tea, mojitos, and lemonade. This dried herb is also a popular ingredient in toothpastes, gums, and confections for its palate-cleansing properties and is often incorporated into soothing digestive aids and aromatic sachets.
Nicolas Donck, a Belgium native, relocated to Georgia and started Crystal Organic Farm back in the mid-90's with a mission to grow healthy, organic produce. Many say he is singlehandedly responsible for introducing Atlantans to many plants of the endive and chicory varieties that were already popular in Belgium. Along the way, Nicolas helped found the Morningside Farmers Market and eventually met the love of his life, and now farm partner, Jeni Jarrard-Donck. Jeni brings an extensive knowledge of medicinal herb cultivation and usage to the partnership, making Crystal Organic one of the most well-rounded and diverse farms in the State.
