RIVERMINT FINE POWDER
River Mint (or Native Mint) grows in all states of Australia except Western Australia, naturally close to rivers and water. Smells like Spearmint and was also used by Indigenous Australians for medicinal purposes.

Our NATIF Rivermint powder is grown by an Indigenous community in Southern Australia.
We are working together to help build supply and demand to support their vision into the future.

• Rivermint contains bio-active components and has been recently found to be high in flavonoid and phenolic compounds (higher than spearmint and rosemary) which act as antioxidants which help to reduce oxidative stress which can cause cellular damage and diseases.
• Phenolic rich compounds have health benefiting properties including anti-inflammatory, anti-hepatitis, and anti-tumour activities.
