Awaken your senses with the invigorating aroma of Mint Leaves Fresh, now available at AL MODINA Japan. Known as "Pudina" in South Asia and "Na'na" in the Middle East, fresh mint is one of the most versatile and beloved herbs in the culinary world. Unlike dried herbs, which offer a subtle background note, fresh mint leaves provide an immediate explosion of cool, sweet, and sharp flavor that can transform a dish from ordinary to extraordinary.
At AL MODINA Japan, we understand that the quality of herbs defines the quality of the meal. That is why we source only the freshest, most vibrant green bunches, ensuring that when they arrive at your door, they are still bursting with natural oils and fragrance.
Mint is unique because it bridges the gap between savory and sweet. It is equally at home in a spicy curry as it is in a chocolate dessert.
The scent of Fresh comes from menthol, an essential oil found in the leaves' glands. This aroma triggers a sensation of cooling and freshness before you even take a bite. It is the secret ingredient that makes dishes feel lighter and more refreshing.
Beyond flavor, fresh mint adds a pop of bright emerald green color to your plate. The leaves are tender enough to be eaten raw in salads yet sturdy enough to hold their own when muddles into beverages.
For centuries, mint has been used as a digestive aid. It helps soothe the stomach after a heavy meal, which is why mint tea or mint-infused yogurt is a staple end to feasts in many cultures.
Having a bunch of your fridge opens up a world of recipes.
In Indian and Pakistani cuisine, Mint Chutney (Pudina Chutney) is a non-negotiable side dish.
The Recipe: Blend a generous handful of fresh mint leaves with coriander (cilantro), green chilies, ginger, lemon juice, and salt.
The Pairing: Serve this vibrant green sauce with Samosas, Pakoras, Tandoori Chicken, or Seekh Kebabs. The cooling mint cuts through the rich, oily textures of fried foods perfectly.
Mint Tea: Whether it's the sugary, frothy Moroccan Mint Tea or a simple steep of leaves in hot water, this drink is the ultimate stress reliever.
Virgin Mojitos & Lemonades: Crush fresh mint leaves with sugar and lime before adding soda water. It creates a "Virgin Mojito" that is Halal, hydrating, and incredibly refreshing during the humid Japanese summer.
Infused Water: Add a few sprigs to your water bottle along with cucumber slices for a spa-like detox drink.
Tabbouleh: This Middle Eastern classic relies heavily on chopped mint and parsley mixed with bulgur wheat, tomatoes, and olive oil.
Raita: Finely chop the leaves and stir them into yogurt with a pinch of roasted cumin. This cooling Raita is the perfect antidote to a spicy Biryani.
Garnish: A single sprig of mint on top of a chocolate fondant, cheesecake, or bowl of fruit salad adds a touch of elegance.
Pairings: Mint pairs beautifully with mango, watermelon, and dark chocolate.
Incorporating into your diet does more than just taste good.
Oral Health: Chewing on fresh leaves is a natural breath freshener. It kills bacteria in the mouth and promotes healthy gums.
Relieves Congestion: The strong aroma of menthol can help clear nasal passages, making it a great herb to consume during cold and flu season.
Skin Health: Mint is rich in salicylic acid and antioxidants, which can help promote healthy, glowing skin from the inside out.
Fresh herbs can wilt quickly if not stored correctly. Here is how to keep your Mint Leaves Fresh crisp for up to two weeks:
The Bouquet Method: Treat mint like flowers. Trim the stems and place the bunch in a glass of water. Cover the leaves loosely with a plastic bag and store it in the fridge door. Change the water every few days.
The Paper Towel Method: Wash the leaves and dry them thoroughly. Wrap them gently in a damp paper towel and place them inside a ziplock bag or airtight container in the fridge.
Freezing: If you have too much, chop the leaves and freeze them in ice cube trays with a little water or olive oil. These "mint cubes" can be dropped directly into curries or teas.
Buying fresh produce online can be worrying, but we ensure quality.
Hand-Selected: We don't ship wilted herbs. Our team inspects every bunch to ensure the leaves are green, firm, and free from dark spots.
Proper Packaging: We package our herbs to protect them from being crushed during transit.
Convenience: Save a trip to the supermarket. Get your fresh herbs delivered alongside your spices, rice, and meats in one go.
