Epazote

Epazote, Dehydrated

Epazote is common to Mexican cooking. 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.

Epazote has a slightly tangy flavor, reminiscent of oregano. It's used both for flavor and for it's ability to reduce the flatulence associates with bean dishes.

People who know nothing about cheeses reel away from Camembert, Roquefort, and Stilton because the plebeian proboscis is not equipped to differentiate between the sordid and the sublime.
