More on Mints

From Wiki:

A “scotch mint” or “pan drop” is a white round candy with a hard shell but fairly soft chewy middle, popular in Great Britain and other Commonwealth nations and in Europe. Scotch mints were traditionally spheroids, more recently moving toward a larger, discoid shape. The name “scotch mint” comes from the specific mint plant Mentha × gracilis.

From Canadian Encyclopedia:

Of the various types of mint, spearmint, peppermint, corn mint and Scotch mint are the most widely cultivated.
Morocco is the world’s leading producer of peppermint. Argentina, the USA and Spain are also important producers of mint.

Canada produces only a small amount of mint but imports $3 to $8 million of mint oil annually, mainly from the United States. Although mint is grown in most parts of Canada, large-scale mint production in fields is mainly in the prairie provinces, particularly Alberta. Mint can also be grown in greenhouses for the fresh-cut herb market.
