Mint. Everything you need to know and more!
At Grobrix we love mint! It’s so versatile. We use if for smoothies. We use it for herbal teas and its the key ingredient for chutneys! It’s also used in many traditional medicines, celebrated for its potential to support overall well-being. One of its primary benefits is its ability to soothe digestive discomfort, providing relief from symptoms like indigestion, bloating, and gas.
Its anti-nausea properties also make it an effective remedy for headaches and migraines, often alleviating symptoms and providing relief. In terms of respiratory health, mint plays a crucial role in opening up the respiratory tract, which can be beneficial for individuals suffering from colds, allergies, or asthma.
The herb is also known for its oral health benefits; its antibacterial properties can eliminate mouth bacteria, leading to fresher breath and potentially fewer cavities. Additionally, mint is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, contributing to improved skin health by reducing inflammation and protecting against free radical damage. The calming effects of its aroma are known to provide relaxation and alleviate stress and anxiety. Furthermore, its natural analgesic properties can help manage pain.
For all of these reasons, Mint is a standing feature on nearly all of urban farms across Singapore!
#growingtogether with Statestreet – A First Harvest
We are excited to welcome State Street to the Grobrix urban farming movement with yet another installation in the downtown Singapore CBD! The crowd turned out in mass to kick off what was for most attendees, their very first indoor farming experience.
See here what Gwen Seah had to say… Not only did I learn about how sustainability can be embdedded into everyday corporate life, but I also learned more about the different types of vegetables. I brought home freshly picked kale , made a smoothie with it, and also mashed it with avacado to create a simple yet satisfying toast topping!
And Aubrey Lim too… It was a meaningful experience that highlighted how environmental responsibility can be part of everyday corporate life. I also got to learn more about different vegetables— something I didn’t expect to enjoy as much as I did!
We are looking forward to many future harvests and engagement sessions!
#growingtogether with American Express – Celebrating World Environment Day
This picture doesn’t do this justice! Check out this Instagram reel to see how this went down. At Grobrix we LOVE helping organisations celebrate meaningful occasions such as Earth Day or World Environment Day.
You can find out more about our workplace events offering on our website! Our farm-to-table events are becoming very popular not only for employee engagement but also customer entertainment events. Think farm-to-table cocktail bar! A nice change to bottles of beer and house wine and a great way to showcase sustainability in action in the workplace.
#growingtogether with Capitaland – Did you see us at Capitagreen or Asia Square?
Our mobile urban farms are rolling out all over Singapore. This is an opportunity for the general public to experience vertical farming on their doorstep. Workplace managers and HR professional are able to experience how farm-to-table can be used for team building activities. This month we have popped up at both Capitagreen and Asia Square Tower. It was such a hit at Asia Square that they have invited us back to do it again in July! We also have CapitaSky and Capital Tower scheduled for Q3 so if you missed us on the streets of Singapore in June, please reach out and find out where and when we are going to be next!
