Eliopoulos, P. A.; Hassiotis, C. N.; Andreadis, S. S.; Porichi, A. E. (2015). "Fumigant toxicity of essential oils from basil and spearmint against two major Pyralid pests of stored products". Journal of Economic Entomology. 108 (2): 805–810. doi: 10.1093/jee/tov029. PMID 26470193. S2CID 36828154. However, if extremely low temperatures are forecast, cover spearmint plants in the ground with a layer of fleece or compost. If container-grown, move to an unheated greenhouse.

To avoid this, place pots and containers on feet to ensure that any excess water can drain and avoid leaving potted mint plants outside in heavy rain. Tip: Even though propagating spearmint by seed is possible, cross pollination of nearby varieties occurs regularly and can affect the following generation. If possible, propagate spearmint by cuttings and division instead, using the same kind of soil. Plant care Yogalakshmi, K.; Rajeswari, M.; Sivakumar, R.; Govindarajan, M. (2012-05-01).

ISSN 1432-1955. PMID 22139403. S2CID 12022813. Peppermint contains way more “valuable” essential oils than spearmint. This is because, as discussed in this study from the University of Bucharest, peppermint essential oil is way richer in menthol (46.8%). Other studies show that spearmint essential oils only contain up to 11.4% of menthol.

Do you know that one of the two is way better for producing essential oils than the other, and although they look similar, there is still a way to differentiate them? Let’s dive in! 1. Appearance: Spearmint vs Peppermint Used as a fumigant, spearmint essential oil is an effective insecticide against adult moths. [35] Antimicrobial research [ edit ] L-theanine: L-theanine is an amino acid found in green tea and other foods. It has been studied for its potential role in memory enhancement, especially in older adults. Spearmint leaves can be used fresh, dried, or frozen. [31] The leaves lose their aromatic appeal after the plant flowers. It can be dried by cutting just before, or right (at peak) as the flowers open, about one-half to three-quarters the way down the stalk (leaving smaller shoots room to grow). [32] Some dispute exists as to what drying method works best; some prefer different materials (such as plastic or cloth) and different lighting conditions (such as darkness or sunlight). The leaves can also be preserved in salt, sugar, sugar syrup, alcohol, or oil. Many health benefits have been attributed to spearmint, whether consumed fresh or used as an essential oil.The plant is a allopolyploid species (2 n=48), [18] [19] which could be a result of hybridization and chromosome doubling. Mentha longifolia and Mentha suaveolens (2 n=24) are likely to be the contributing diploid species. [14] [20] [21] Hybrids [ edit ]

Inositol: A substance naturally made by the body and found in some foods, inositol has been researched as a potential treatment option for infertility in people with PCOS. Studies have also shown that using inositol may increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy in people with PCOS.Before diving into the differences, remember that spearmint is also called “mint” or “garden mint,” and it is the most common between the two. Fungal diseases are common diseases in spearmint. Two main diseases are rust and leaf spot. Puccinia menthae is a fungus that causes the disease called "rust". Rust affects the leaves of spearmint by producing pustules inducing the leaves to fall off. Leaf spot is a fungal disease that occurs when Alternaria alernata is present on the spearmint leaves. The infection looks like circular dark spot on the top side of the leaf. Other fungi that cause disease in spearmint are Rhizoctonia solani, Verticillium dahliae, Phoma strasseri, and Erysiphe cischoracearum. [28] Nematode diseases [ edit ]

Spearmint is a perennial herbaceous plant. It is 30–100cm (12–39in) tall, with variably hairless to hairy stems and foliage, and a wide-spreading fleshy underground rhizome from which it grows. The leaves are 3 + 1⁄ 2in) long and 1.5–3cm ( 1⁄ 2– 1 + 1⁄ 4in) broad, with a serrated margin. The stem is square-shaped, a defining characteristic of the mint family of herbs. Spearmint produces flowers in slender spikes, each flower pink or white in colour, 2.5–3mm (0.098–0.118in) long and broad. [12] [13] Spearmint flowers in the summer (from July to September in the northern hemisphere), [14] and has relatively large seeds, which measure 0.62–0.90mm (0.024–0.035in). [14] The name ''spear'' mint derives from the pointed leaf tips. [15] Mentha spicata varies considerably in leaf blade dimensions, the prominence of leaf veins, and pubescence. [16] Taxonomy [ edit ]This is a medium-difficulty recipe that requires, on average, 15 minutes of your time. Once you buy them, you can generally make many hot chocolates, and many of those ingredients (except for the diary part) last for long. Spearmint may help to relieve symptoms of digestive problems, by relaxing the stomach muscles, reducing symptoms of nausea, and other digestive problems. Learning how to grow spearmint isn’t much different than growing other mint plants. Spearmint is a hardy perennial up to USDA plant hardiness Zone 5 that grows best in partial shade with well-draining, rich, moist soil and a pH of 6.5 to 7. Mint is easiest to grow from plants, but you can sow seed once the ground has warmed in the spring. Keep seeds moist until they germinate and thin plants to 1 foot (31 cm.) apart. The average peppermint plant has three main chemical components responsible for its strong minty flavor profile. Menthone, eucalyptol, and menthol comprise 55% of all compounds in peppermint. These have a distinctly peppery mint flavor that is accompanied by a strong cooling sensation. Mahboubi M. Mentha spicata as natural analgesia for treatment of pain in osteoarthritis patients.
