Miniature mint pills are small candies, generally round or rectangular in shape, with an intense refreshing mint flavor. These candies are commonly used in cooking to add a fresh and aromatic touch to desserts, beverages, and innovative preparations.
Their origin is linked to traditional European confectionery, where mint has historically been appreciated for both its flavor and its digestive properties. Currently, miniature mint pills are industrially produced in many countries around the world and are a common part of contemporary gastronomy.
Regarding their properties, in addition to their powerful refreshing flavor, mint is known to aid digestion and help relieve stomach discomfort. The pills, being small and concentrated, allow for this freshness to be dosed in a practical and aesthetic way in culinary recipes.
In different regions of Latin America, miniature mint pills may be known by alternative names such as "pastillas de menta", "caramelos de menta", or simply "mentas". These terms are interchangeable depending on the country, although all refer to small hard candies with a mint flavor, ideal for incorporating into culinary preparations that require a fresh and aromatic touch.
