					<description><![CDATA[Peppermint, known for its refreshing aroma and cooling flavor, has long been prized in the flavor and fragrance industries. Yet genetically, this beloved herb has remained virtually unchanged for over two centuries. Unlike many sexually reproducing plants, commercial peppermint cultivars propagate clonally, creating genetically identical offshoots. This lack of genetic diversity has historically left peppermint [&#8230;]]]></description>
