Pulegone is a monoterpene aromatic compound that has a scent described as minty, peppermint like, and camphor like. It is considered a toxin to the liver (Hepatotoxic) and consumption of plants with high amounts of pulegone in their essential oils is not recommended. There are many plants with a small amount of pulegon in their essential oils which is generally considered safe, and a few with large amounts which are considered unsafe to eat in access. Plants that are generally considered to have an access of pulegone are often called pennyroyal due to the connection to the flavor profile of pennyroyal Mentha pulegium.
