M is for Mint

These days, mint is an icy-cool flavor in everything from candy to cocktails, but did you know that it’s been used as a breath freshener since the Middle Ages? Medieval Europeans weren’t exactly known for their dental hygiene, but they eased bad breath with mint-vinegar mouthwash or by simply chewing on mint leaves. That practice evolved with the invention of peppermint Altoids and mint-flavored toothpaste in the 1880s. And the tradition of mint-freshened breath continues today.

J is for Jasmine

You likely recognize jasmine for its scent used in perfumes, soaps, and teas. But did you know Syria’s capital is known as “the City of Jasmine?” In Damascus, the world's oldest capital city, you can see jasmine vines outside many homes. And because most species of jasmine bloom after sunset, you can smell it throughout the city on summer nights.
