Epazote

Epazotes’ unique aroma has been compared to both gasoline and perfume, but don’t let that scare you. The assertive flavor is similar to cilantro and Mexican Oregano -- but there really is no substitution for Epazote. This Mexican herb has a culinary history that dates back to the Aztecs, and is widely reported to reduce flatulence. We use it to season everything from beans to soups to quesadillas and our Chipotle Chili Black Bean Burger.
