Spearmint, excellent for cooking all manner of curries and european cuisine. Whereas peppermint is more commonly talked about, spearmint is the herb that truly shines in savoury cooking. Spearmint is lighter in colour than peppermint and thus also great for blending into sauces. 

For the home baker, nothing makes chocolate taste better than infusing milk with spearmint and making a refreshing summer ganache. Spearmint is also popular for use in fruit salads, flavouring syrups for cocktails, or used to flavour stews in Middle Eastern cuisines.
