Name: Mint Powder – 100% Pure Dried Pudina | PureRoots
Price: 649 PKR
Availability: InStock

PureRoots mint powder is pudina leaf, dried and milled fine. Nothing added — no salt, no oil, no anti-caking agent, none of the black salt and cumin that turn most shop-bought mint powder into a chaat masala rather than a herb.

It exists because fresh pudina is the most perishable thing in the fridge. You buy a bunch for a chutney, use a third of it, and throw the rest out limp four days later. A jar of this replaces that cycle.

Machine-dried, not sun-dried

Everything you value in mint is volatile oil, and volatile oil leaves in heat. Sun drying is slow and hot, and by the end most of the smell has gone into the air, which is why sun-dried mint smells of nothing much.

Ours dries fast, in the dark, at a temperature chosen to hold those oils. Open the pouch and it smells like mint immediately — the simplest test there is, and one most dried mint fails.

How to use mint powder

Into curd for raita. One teaspoon per cup, no chopping, no stray stems.
In buttermilk and jaljeera. A pinch per glass. Dissolves faster in something with a little fat or salt in it.
Over chaat and grilled paneer. Even coverage instead of the patchy result you get from torn leaves.
In marinades and dough. Mint through the whole dish rather than in pockets.

Taste and texture

Cool and clean, with the sharpness of fresh pudina rather than the sweetness of peppermint. Concentrated — a teaspoon of powder does the work of a small handful of leaves, so start lower than you think.

Ingredients and storage

Ingredients: 100% dried mint leaf.

Storage: Airtight and cool. Mint loses aroma faster than the other powders once opened — decant into a small jar rather than leaving a large pouch half full.

Best before: 12 months from packing.
