Vacuum Dried / Dehydrated Mint

Mint (pudina) leaves dried under vacuum at low temperature. This process preserves their natural green colour, essential oils, and medicinal properties, while reducing moisture to make them shelf-stable and lightweight.

Unlike sun drying (which bleaches the colour) or hot air drying (which kills the aroma), vacuum drying locks in everything that makes mint magical.
