Distinguishing between peppermint leaves and spearmint
- Peppermint leaves: Leaves grow symmetrically, egg-shaped, with serrated edges, and have fine hairs on both sides. Strong fragrance, spicy and cool taste.
- Spearmint leaves: Elongated leaves, serrated edges, no fine hairs on the leaf surface, and usually smaller in size than peppermint leaves. The fragrance is lighter than peppermint leaves, with a milder spicy aroma.
