Epazote has a strong taste and aroma, so not everyone takes to it right away.

It can be somewhat of an 🛡 acquired taste, but it adds a wonderful rustic layer of flavor to many dishes.

While it is best to use fresh 🛡 epazote, the dried form can be used if no fresh herbs are available.

The peak season for the herb is in 🛡 winter, but it is available year-round.
