The experts collected the eight Hungarian and two Italian plants from two domestic producers, as well as a horticulture and a larger commercial unit. In terms of their variety, in addition to the well-known peppermint and spearmint, the comparative study also included cultivated versions, so one apple, lemon, chocolate, Moroccan, orange and chewing mint were also tested.
