In general, the varieties of mint that are used for consumption are peppermint, peppermint, and apple mint, which are varieties that have fresh-tasting leaves with a strong minty aroma that can be used for cooking, making drinks, and so on. Some other varieties, such as spicy mint and wild mint, are not suitable for consumption because their leaves may contain toxins or harmful substances that are harmful to human health.
Therefore, when using mint, it is important to choose varieties suitable for consumption and pay attention to cleaning and handling to ensure safe consumption. It is recommended that when purchasing mint, choose reputable merchants or supermarkets, buy fresh varieties, and pay attention to preservation methods to avoid expiration or spoilage.
