A peppermint leaf history.

Peppermint is at least 5,000 years old. Many experts think that the leafy green was first grown by ancient people to eat and use as medicine.

Peppermint oil in a picture:

Peppermint is thought to have come from Northern Africa or the Mediterranean. Its name comes from a Greek myth. The story says that the god Hades had an affair with a nymph named Minthe. When his wife found out that he was cheating on her, she turned Minthe into a weedy plant that was always in the way. Hades changed the curse to make it better for his lover. He left Minthe as a weed, but he gave her a sweet, calming smell so that people who walked over her would remember she was there. This is love.

Archaeologists have found dried peppermint leaves that are 3,000 years old in the inner rooms of Egyptian pyramids. What’s up? The oil that could be taken from the leaves was thought to be very valuable, and rulers wanted to take as much money with them to the afterlife as they could.

Peppermint was often used by the Romans to add flavor to special dishes served at feasts. It was used in sauces and wine. The pretty plant was also often put on dining tables, and noblemen would braid the long stems into crowns and wear them at parties. Mint was used to cover the floors of synagogues by ancient Hebrews on special occasions because it smelled good and made people feel calm. We don’t know how Hades felt about that choice.
