Spearmint is the most know species from the family of mint (menta), which includes 25 different species of plants. In Greek spearmint is called dyosmos (pronounced as diosmos, δυόσμος) and its latin name is Mentha spicata. Spearmint is a very common herb in the Greek Salads and in Greek cuisine in general. Typically, when someone asks you to add some mint in the food or the salad in Greece, he refers to diosmos or spearmint. The word mint comes from the Greek word mentha (or menta) and it used to be the herb of hospitality for the Ancient Greeks. The spearmint mint plant grows to a height of two feet and has rich green leaves, lance shaped with jagged edges. The flowers are usually pinkish or pink -lilac, and sometimes green. The plant prefers partial shade, but it is a rather strong plant and can flourish in full sun to mostly shade. The main characteristic of the spearmint is that is very aromatic, which makes it so popular in the making of salads in Greece.
