Mint Imperials Millar

Some people with acid reflux find that mint triggers or worsens their symptoms. Mint is commonly listed among foods that may aggravate GERD, and peppermint oil has been shown to have muscle-relaxing effects in the digestive tract. If peppermint consistently brings on your heartburn, it may be worth limiting it.

Not really, and this has nothing to do with the peppermint. Hard-boiled sweets are a well-recognised choking hazard for small children because of their size, firmness, and slow dissolve time. This is a sweet for older children and adults, not something to hand a toddler.

These Mint Imperials contain 96g of total sugars per 100g. The NHS recommends that adults have no more than 30g of free sugars a day, although the 96g figure on the nutrition label represents total sugars rather than free sugars alone.

Frequent consumption of sugary sweets can increase the risk of tooth decay, so these are best enjoyed occasionally rather than as a regular habit.

Dextrose is another name for glucose, a simple sugar that can raise blood glucose relatively quickly. Unlike sucrose (table sugar), which is made up of glucose and fructose, dextrose is glucose itself. Because these sweets contain both sugar and dextrose, they provide readily available carbohydrate and can raise blood glucose.

Yes, straightforwardly — sugar, dextrose, acacia gum and peppermint oil are all plant-based or synthetic, with nothing animal-derived in the recipe. One of the simpler ingredient lists in this range from that point of view.

Store Mint Imperials in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odours. Keeping the sweets sealed and away from humidity can help maintain their smooth texture and prevent them from becoming sticky or sticking together.

Mint Imperials are available to buy online from Nutsoasis in 100g, 250g, 500g and 1kg sizes. The loose format makes them suitable for sharing, sweet jars, pick-and-mix displays and catering use.
