Description
Chenopodium ambrosiodies from Sea Spring Seeds
Epazote is the herb of choice for Mexican salsas and bean dishes. Its strong aroma is reminiscent of turpentine or camphor with perhaps a little mint thrown in. This unflattering aroma, though, seems to blend seamlessly and pleasantly with the other ingredients when in a dish. It also makes a digestive tea.
Approx. number of seeds per pack: 600
Sow March - Apr.

Cool Chile Recommends - our favourite herb to cook with black beans, somehow Mexican black beans just don't taste the same without it. We also like to add a whole sprig to quesadillas or chop it into salsas or cook with mushrooms. It is delicious and irreplaceable. Easy to grow and you can dry it to keep for the winter.
The tiny seed of Epazote should be spring-sown in modular trays filled with fine compost and germinated in a cooler environment. Germination is erratic and the sown seeds will germinate at different times. Once the seedlings have emerged they should be thinned down to 2 or 3 per cell.
When the roots have filled the cells, the plants can then be transplanted outdoors in late spring or early summer.
Epazote is a weak perennial. While it is usually treated as an annual in Britain in milder areas plants may overwinter and regrow the following year.
For sale in the UK only, excluding Northern Ireland.
