Yunnan people's love for mint is unique. We generally collect medicinal mint for its medicinal effects, and what we eat every day is actually mint leaves. For Yunnan people, the aroma of mint leaves is always mixed with the aroma of beef and mutton, and aroma of fried potato and pork ribs. In spring, it refreshes the mind and relieves fatigue; in summer, it cools and relieves heat; in autumn, it relieves sore throat, promotes skin eruption and relieves fatigue; in winter, it disperses wind-heat and resists wind-cold. With meat, mint leaves relieve greasily; with vegetables, mint leaves enhance the flavour. Therefore, mint leaves have become one of the favourite foods of the Yunnan people. There are so many ways to cook mint leaves, so they’re on our table all year round, and they’ve also become a refreshing dish on the dining table in Yunnan.
