dried mint

Crumbled aromatic leaves

Dried mint is the preserved leaves of the mint plant, used as a culinary herb.

Fresh mint loses much of its bright flavor when dried, but dried mint remains common in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking, especially in spice blends, teas, and lamb dishes: She sprinkled dried mint over the yogurt sauce.
