Availability: Occasional in spring and summer
Storage tips: Refrigerate in a plastic bag. Mint should store at least a week.
How to eat: Mint is most often eaten as a garnish or in small amounts in a salad, salad dressing, or sauce. We enjoy mint especially with cucumbers or tomatoes or other summery veggies often raw in salads. It also goes well with yogurt, chicken, and a variety of meats. Or add it to your tea fresh or dried.
How to preserve: FREEZE: chop and put into freezer bag for use in salad dressings, dips, soups, sauces, etc.
Or dehydrate for later use in culinary applications or as a tea.
