Epazote

Epazote, Dehydrated

Epazote is common to Mexican cooking, and with the popularity of Mexican and southern cooking, we've had many requests to add this to our line.

While fresh epazote should be your first choice, it is often difficult to find. When substituting our dried herb, use one-half the amount specified for fresh leaves. Epazote is most commonly found in bean dishes. It is also used in soups and moles.

While there is a light flavor to the herb, the use of epazote in certain dishes originated for more of a medicinal reason. Apparently, this herb has the ability to help curb the flatulence associated with beans!
