Mentha, commonly known as Pudina in Nepal, is an aromatic herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family. It typically grows to a height of 0.1–0.6 meters and is highly valued for its culinary, medicinal, and aromatic applications. The plant produces small flowers in clusters, and its nutlets contain 1–4 seeds essential for reproduction. In Nepal, a local variety of mentha thrives in the damp and fertile soils of the southern lowlands and mid-hill regions. These favorable conditions make it an important crop for spice flavoring, natural seasoning, and traditional herbal remedies. Mentha is a key ingredient in various culinary dishes, teas, and therapeutic products, thanks to its refreshing aroma and health benefits. Our sourcing regions include the fertile lowlands and mid-hill areas, ensuring premium-quality yields. The harvesting season for mentha typically runs from April to June, coinciding with its peak growth and flavor potency.
