Epazote

Epazote is a green herb, commonly used in Latin and Mexican cuisine. It has a pungent aroma and flavor that is often described as earthy, minty with a slight hint of citrus.

It can be added to soups and stews or blended into sauces and salsas, usually at the end of cooking because of its distinct taste. Young leaves are preferred as they have a milder flavor, while mature leaves should be used sparingly as they bear a stronger flavor.

The leaves can also be torn and layered into tamales, enchiladas, and quesadillas, or they can be chopped and stirred into toasted corn. Epazote can be used as a fresh, edible garnish on cocktails, rice and other rich dishes.

Epazote can also be used dried, but the flavor will be significantly less potent. One teaspoon of dried Epazote is equivalent to one fresh leaf or stem.
