View Full Version : whats the difference between spearmint and peppermint? Fallout 06-10-2003, 11:29 PM They both taste the same to me Lei Tong 06-10-2003, 11:36 PM I've wondered the same thing. Curly Howard 06-10-2003, 11:59 PM 2 different plants...the leaves look almost the same http://www.annettesherbgarden.com/pages/images/peppermint.jpg http://www.annettesherbgarden.com/pages/images/spearmint.jpg Valerie 06-11-2003, 12:03 AM yes, two different species, although there is a lot of cross breeding in the mint family. If you had them fresh, you should be able to taste, smell, and feel the difference. Curly Howard 06-11-2003, 12:05 AM and you can't kill them....even if you run them over with the mower Lei Tong 06-11-2003, 12:06 AM Well, I don't normally go around masticating on fresh leaves off trees, so I guess I'll never truly understand. Curly Howard 06-11-2003, 12:08 AM it's a plant Lei Tong 06-11-2003, 12:11 AM Oh... well that changes everything. Curly Howard 06-11-2003, 12:13 AM Yeah Prince 06-11-2003, 12:14 AM what the ****? mints are plants? Lei Tong 06-11-2003, 12:15 AM Well, just did a quick round on the house plants... and plastic leaves lack flavor. Prince 06-11-2003, 12:15 AM RATM. Lei Tong 06-11-2003, 12:16 AM **** 'EM.
