Here is what Richter's has to say about this mint:
"It's hard to play favourites with your babies, but for breeder Jim Westerfield, this one holds a special place in his heart. It possesses a superb sweet lime aroma with all sorts of possibilities for the kitchen. Try it in candies, cookies, cakes, salads, seafood... anywhere where you need to create a new sensation. Interestingly, the sweet lime aroma of fresh-cut leaves actually gets stronger when stored overnight."
