Mint Grapefruit
Grapefruit Mint (Mentha × piperita f. citrata)
A bright, citrus‑scented mint with soft, fruity notes and beautiful crinkled foliage 🌿🍊
🌿 Grapefruit mint is a fresh, uplifting mint with soft, crinkled green leaves and a distinctive citrus‑mint aroma that’s naturally sweet and fruity. When the leaves are crushed, they release a scent reminiscent of grapefruit zest with a cool minty edge, making the plant as ornamental as it is delicious. In summer it produces pale lilac flowers that draw in bees and add a gentle prettiness to the herb bed.
Grapefruit mint brings a bright, fruity freshness to both sweet and savoury dishes.
• Wonderful in iced teas, summer drinks, cocktails, and fruit salads
• Adds a soft citrus lift to salads, yoghurt sauces, and light desserts
• Lovely with melon, berries, citrus fruits, and honey
• Excellent in herbal teas, where its fruity aroma really shines
• A gentle, refreshing mint for cold dishes, sorbets, and infused syrups
Flavour profile: fruity, citrus‑mint, lightly sweet, with a soft grapefruit note
