Q) Are your mints gluten free?

A) Yes. They also are all natural with no artificial colors, flavorings, or preservatives, and absolutely no animal products. Our sugar, and all of our ingredients, are Certified Kosher. Nothing has been irradiated, and the flavors and oils are made without propylene glycol.

Q) Why are there tiny white crystals on the peppermints? They are not there all the time.

A) These are natural menthol crystals. They may look like a very fine dust or tiny clumps. They form from temperature changes, since the menthol component of the peppermint oil is naturally volatile and forms crystals when cooled. A high amount of pure peppermint oil is used in the mints and this naturally occurs. This would not occur if artificial flavor, less pure oil or small amounts of oil were used. It’s part of the pure freshness.

Q) How should I store the mints? I usually keep them in my purse or pocket and in my car.

A) Mints can be stored at room temperature. Storing at room temp, or cooler, is good. If they get warm it’s not a problem, but if kept at room temperature the flavor lasts longer, just like any other candy or mint.

Q) What give the mints their nice color?

A) The light green of the peppermints and the golden color of the gingers are from the natural ingredients used, particularly the herbs. No dyes or synthetic coloring agents are used.
