Epazote /Bean-o Herb

Botanical Name: Chenopodium ambrosioides
Life Cycle: Annual
Description/Size:


Insist on this Mexican herb with any bean dish to "for-go the fireworks." Use 1/4 cup chopped fresh leaves per kettle of stews, soups, & bean dishes during the last 10 to 15 minutes of cooking. Don't worry about the unusual odor. I believe it quickly dissipates and imparts little flavor, if any, although others say they even like the taste. Absolutely necessary for black bean soup or chili.

Cold Tolerance: Zone 9a 9b-11
Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Sun
Height: 2-3 Feet
Water: Normal
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Price: $3.29 each
