*Japanese mint* is a plant you’ll know by its strong, cooling smell. It’s not the same as the mint you use in mojitos, but they’re cousins.
1. *What it is*
- *Scientific name*: _Mentha arvensis_ var. _piperascens_
- *Common names*: Japanese mint, corn mint, field mint, wild mint
- *Origin*: Native to East Asia, especially Japan, China, Korea. Grown commercially in India, Brazil, and China now.
It’s a perennial herb with square stems, lance-shaped leaves, and small lilac/white flowers. Crush the leaves and you get that intense menthol smell.
2. *Main use: Menthol production*
Japanese mint is grown mainly for *menthol*, the compound that gives the cooling sensation.
- Menthol content: 70-85% in Japanese mint oil, higher than peppermint oil
