Where do mint seeds come from?

How to get mint seeds

Mint seeds grow inside the fruit and usually mature in late autumn. When all the branches seem to be withered, pinch off the entire branch with seeds and then remove the seeds with your hands.

After peeling the mint seeds, they can be dried in the sun or in an oven for storage. If you have a dryer at home, that would be the best way to dry the seeds directly and then store them in a sealed bag.

How to Plant Mint Seeds

Mint seeds can be planted in spring and autumn. The best sowing time is between September and October. It takes 3-4 months from planting to harvesting.

1. Germination: Before planting, choose seeds with full grains, then soak them in potassium permanganate for disinfection, and then soak them in pure water for one day.

2. Sowing: Spread the processed mint seeds evenly on the soil. After sowing, water the soil in time according to the soil conditions and spray some pesticides appropriately.
