About Spearmint, dried
Dried spearmint is more intensely flavored and less sweet than fresh, with the cooling menthol quality somewhat mellowed by drying. Used by the teaspoon in Middle Eastern cooking, particularly in tabbouleh, lamb dishes, and lentil soups, as well as in teas and yogurt-based sauces. On a per-100g basis the fiber and protein look impressive, but no one uses it at that scale - at a teaspoon it contributes essentially nothing nutritionally, just flavor.
