Green market 3 "Some wacky weeds"

When you think you have seen it all, bam!!! something new right up in ya face! pineapple mint!!! Pineapple sage, grapefruit mint!!!! Hello why have i not seen these plants before??? am i not in the loop? am i no longer "in the know"? HELP ME.....
Lets start out with my favorite, pineapple mint. OMG not only does this plant have a very strong pineapple scent its also very beautiful. It taste
just how you expect it to taste, both pineapple and mint are present in it flavor. I am very exited to put this in a pot and spend all summer using this herb in some recipes. How great would this be in fruit salads, salsa, pesto I could come up with a huge list of things to do with this herb. I will be cooking with pineapple mint this summer and yes, i'll post all the recipes for you

guys. Moving on.
Pineapple sage has a very green flavor but you do get some pineapple flavor in there too. It does not taste like sage at all, so it was a little disappointing. I am still going to find some cool things to make with it. Next is the strange grapefruit mint. It taste a little like mint and a little like pineapple, but i think it has a flavor all
its own. I cant quite describe it and cant decide if i like it!! its different. Ok well now i'
m inspired and hope you feel the same. So go to the farmes market and grab some herbs
.
