HOW TO USE:
Both have a minty flavor and scent, but spearmint is slightly sweeter while peppermint is more cooling or refreshing.
You’ll find both commonly used in candies, gums, toothpastes, and mouthwashes.
You can use both herbs fresh or dried to create a tea.
Both herbs are used for pain relief, stress reduction, memory improvement and digestive complaints.
Both of these mint varieties contain an active compound known as menthol, but peppermint contains more menthol (which is why it’s more cooling).
