Dried Mint 
(Nana Khosk)

Dried Mint (Nana Khosk) is a concentrated, aromatic herb from sun- or air-dried spearmint leaves, cherished in Afghan, Persian, and Middle Eastern cuisines for its potent cooling menthol flavor and versatility in everyday cooking.
Key Flavors
It provides a strong, clean minty freshness with sweet undertones, more intense than fresh mint, ideal for garnishing soups, stews, and yogurt dishes without wilting.
Common Ingredients
Pure dried spearmint leaves (Mentha spicata), often crumbled or powdered; traditionally sourced from Turkey, Iran, or Afghanistan with no additives.
Usage Tips
Sprinkle ½-1 tsp crushed leaves over qorma, ashak dumplings, or doogh yogurt drink; fry briefly in ghee as a garnish for enhanced aroma. Brew into tea for digestion or nausea relief; stores well in airtight jars for months.
