Pure pudina powder:  This is made by washing, drying, and finely grinding 100% fresh mint leaves, with no additives or preservatives.

Pudina masala powder: This is a blended spice mix that incorporates dried mint leaves with other ingredients, such as black salt, black pepper, cumin seeds, and sometimes other spices and dals.

Pudina powder is a staple in Indian and other cuisines, and can be used in many ways:

Drinks: It is often added to refreshing beverages like mint lemonade (nimbu-paani), herbal teas, and Indian yogurt drinks (lassi).

Seasoning: A sprinkle of pudina powder can elevate the flavor of curries, salads, and vegetable dishes. Because heat diminishes the flavor, it is often added at the end of cooking or used as a garnish.

Chutneys and dips: The powder is blended with yogurt, garlic, and other spices to create flavorful dips and chutneys.

Yogurt dishes (raita): It is a popular addition to cooling yogurt-based raitas to add a burst of freshness.

Snacks: It can be sprinkled on roasted vegetables, fried snacks, and savory rice dishes like biryani.

Desserts: For a minty twist, it can be added to cookies, cakes, chocolate desserts, and ice creams.

In addition to its culinary applications, pudina powder offers several potential health benefits:

Aids digestion: Its digestive properties can help relieve indigestion, bloating, and stomach discomfort.

Soothes nausea: The calming effect of mint can help alleviate feelings of nausea.

Freshens breath: The natural antibacterial properties of mint help combat bad breath and promote oral hygiene.

Supports skin health:  It can be used topically in face masks to help soothe skin, reduce inflammation, and alleviate acne.

Boosts immunity: Mint leaves are packed with vitamins and antioxidants that help support the immune system.
