Epazote - Verde Herb in 10cm pot

Epazote – Verde (Green)

Chenopodium ambrosioides

Epazote is a bold, aromatic herb traditionally used in Mexican cuisine—especially in bean dishes, soups, and tamales. Known for its digestive properties, it has been valued since prehispanic times for its ability to reduce flatulence and enhance the flavour of rich, hearty meals.

This green-leafed variety has a unique, pungent scent that mellows with light cooking. It’s a key herb in traditional recipes including huitlacoche, chilaquiles, and green salsas. Use young leaves for a subtler taste or mature ones for full intensity.

Protect from frost during colder months, or grow as an annual in cooler areas.

PLANT CARE

• Light: Full sun to part shade
• Water: Moderate water; allow top layer of soil to dry between waterings
• Soil: Free-draining soil; avoid waterlogged conditions
• Considerations: Harvest young leaves regularly to encourage bushier growth

Sold in a 10 cm pot (similar to one in photo). Suitable for edible gardens, raised beds, and containers.
