I bought some mint to grow the other day and didn't take much notice of it until I just re-potted it a few minutes ago. I hate mint so I got it for bunny food, but I couldn't smell anything minty about the plant so took a bite of a leave...YIKES!
It sort of tastes like chillies or something, it's kind of spicey! I think it's an asian mint but I have lost the part of the labeling that had the name on it. I wish I had sampled it before buying it
Should I just chuck it out? Seems a pity, it does taste nice, just not sure if something spicey tasting would be ok for rabbits? I could just keep it and use it for cooking for myself though, just unsure if it would be safe or not for buns.
Also is basil ok for rabbits? I bought some of that to grow too, but I'm not a herb person at all and to me it seems strong and made my mouth feel a little numb/weird eating it.
