Epazote is an annual medicinal and aromatic herb typical of the culinary traditions of Mexico (and elsewhere in Central America). It is mainly used in bean dishes, where it aids digestion and adds a pleasant aroma. It can be recognized by its serrated leaves and reddish stems, but above all by its powerful and distinctive resinous aroma, both camphorated and lemony. 0.5 m
