Epazote

Naturally grown

Epazote is an aromatic, pungently flavored herb that has both medicinal and culinary uses. Both the fresh leaves and tender stems are used in cooking. The flavor compounds in epazote do not stand up to heating for a long time though, so the herb is added to dishes near the end of cooking.  It is typically added to black beans, but also used in a wide variety of sauces and stews that contain mushrooms and corn.

To store: keep in the refrigerator in a glass with water, as you would cut flowers, loosely covered with a plastic bag; or in the refrigerator, rolled in a very lightly dampened towel, in a plastic bag.
