Thank you Ben for this forum! I’m also from Mexico City and live now in Palm Springs, California. I grew up eating beans laced with Epazote all my life, so it does not smell like old socks to me …. quesadillas with squash flowers and epazote smell divine!. Anybody can get seeds from vendors like Amazon and they deliver worldwide!

Just ran across your blog and I love all the information. Epazote sounds like interesting stuff. I thought I knew my herbs, but this is a new one for me. Old socks? Hmmm, now I’m really curious.

In Venezuela we call it Pazote and it is not used to cook but with the medical purposes you already explained. But i do not think it smells like gasoline or old socks, I have tons of it in the backyard. I love it because when medicine and vets couldn’t do anything to heal the dogs and cats I found on the street I gave them pazote tea and they were fine and healthy

Once you have epazote in Mexican food, you wonder how you ever got along without it.

Hmm stinky, can be addictive and pisionous,but tastes great. My curiosity is piqued.

Sounds interesting! I wouldn’t mind giving it a try, as long as it doesn’t really smell like old socks.

I’m going to our huge Detroit market on Saturday, so I’ll see what I can find… I always love to try new herbs.
