Epazote Live Herb Plant in Pot - Organically Grown (Dysphania ambrosioides)

Epazote is an aromatic culinary herb native to Mexico and Central America, used in traditional cooking since pre-Hispanic times. Known locally as epazote, ipazote, or paico, it is commonly added to bean dishes, soups, and meats to reduce strong odors and add a distinctive flavor. It can also substitute for cilantro in some recipes.

Our herbs are grown outdoors and not in a greenhouse, which helps reduce transplant shock when you bring them home.
