Green Epazote

A tier

Green epazote is the ordinary deep-green leaf and stem form most cooks picture—vigorous, strongly aromatic, and standard in recipes that simply say epazote. Colour here means healthy photosynthetic growth, not a unique cultivar registry. Prefer bright green non-yellowing bunches. Chop leaves roughly for quesadillas; keep stems for the bean pot if tender. Green epazote freezes acceptably blanched or raw in bags for off-season beans.
