Come summers and we see a lot of mint or pudina in our food. No meal is complete without the serving of fresh mint sauce or pudina chutney. We even use the chutney to make filling for our sandwiches or pair it with our snacks like samosa and pakoda. We also add a bunch of leaves to our smoothies or decorate our raita with it. The minty aroma and flavour of the herb lifts up any food it is added to and brings a wave of freshness to fight the balmy weather of summers.

No wonder almost all Indian households have stacks of mint in their kitchen all the time. However, these leaves don’t stay fresh for too long even if you store them in the refrigerator.
