Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 If you don't want to grow epazote (I haven't tried becasue I figured it would die in north Arkansas winters) you can find dried at ethnic markets or from penzeys, that's where I got mine (http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeysepazote.html).

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 try growing some. It's almost like a weed, won't matter if you forget to water it for weeks. The dried isn't near as good.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 LB asked what was epazote. It's a Mexican dried herb, occasionally sold in the kind of ethnic groceries that carry four or more kinds of dried chili peppers that you've never heard of. A small amount of epazote helps control the gassiness that can result from eating beans. It also makes the chili taste better. I've seen seeds for epazote sold through some seed companies on line; apparently it's a big weedy looking plant and one is plenty for a family who eats lots of beans. I usually add a pinch of the dried leaves to chili for the flavor--I'm not so sure it really works for flatulence, but the taste is nice.
