Food & Dairy / different types of mints
English term or phrase: spearmint. peppermint and wintergreen
Hola,

Se trata de los sabores de unos chicles/goma de mascar y no se me ocurre cómo traducirlo ya que en Argentina sólo tenemos de mente, creo.

Saludos,
Ana.

Spanish translation:hierbabuena, menta y menta fresca
Explanation:
Cuando estaba investigando traducciones para wintergreen, vi muchas menciones en Google sobre "aceites esenciales de wintergreen" y sus efectos en la salud. También consulté mi glosario agrícola, que indica que el término en español para wintergreen es "pirola". Sin embargo, "menta fresca" suena más apetitoso y más indicativo del sabor de ese chicle.

neutral  Judith Kerman: I think "wintermint" is a proprietary marketing word for a flavor made by one company - not the name of a real herb
