Epazote is a unique and important herb with culinary and medicinal uses. It adds a distinct flavor to Mexican dishes and is essential for bean dishes due to its anti-flatulent properties. Its aroma and taste are loved by some and described as having tones of lemon, savory, and mint. This ingredient is irreplaceable in recipes.
Soil, Planting, And Care
Epazote is native to tropical climes. In North America, plants are annual in zones 2 to 7 and perennial in warmer zones, typically growing 2 to 4 feet tall. In all regions, you can grow epazote in a container, bringing it indoors for winter in coldest climes. Plant epazote outdoors in spring after all danger of frost has passed and when night temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees F. Place plants in full sun in average, well-drained soil. Drainage is important; don't place where roots will sit in water. Leaves develop best flavor in full sun.
Harvest And Storage
Harvest leaves at any point after plants are established. Pick leaves in the morning, after dew dries. Air dry leaves on screens or gather stems in bunches and hang upside down.
