Dried Mint

Dried mint is one of the oldest and most common seasonings in Turkish cuisine. Drying concentrates the aroma in the leaves; even a small pinch brings a noticeable freshness to a dish. Ingredient: dried mint.

In the kitchen it is broadly useful: it belongs in yogurt and lentil soups, in the yogurt sauce for manti, in yogurt-and-cucumber dip, bulgur salad, and stuffed vine leaves in olive oil. In warm dishes, add it toward the end of cooking so the aroma settles into the food instead of fading. Swirled briefly in butter with pepper flakes, it also makes a classic topping for soups.

To preserve the aroma, store it in a tightly closed container away from light and moisture. Your TürkDeli order ships quickly anywhere in Germany and to other European countries; Berlin orders are delivered the same day. Shipping is free over 100 € within Germany and over 150 € elsewhere in Europe.
