Yakima Chewing Gum Mint (Mentha spicata ‘Yakima’) is a highly prized culinary cultivar of spearmint celebrated for its uncanny, nostalgic flavour profile.

Named after the famous Yakima Valley in Washington State—the heart of global commercial mint production—this particular variety was bred to replicate the exact sweet, long-lasting taste of traditional American green chewing gum. It achieves this by naturally striking a perfect flavor balance between sweet spearmint and crisp, sharp peppermint.
