Epazote

6180 - Epazote. Chenopodium ambrosoides. Extremely aromatic species used as a cooking herb, judiciously in salad, and for medicinal and veterinary use as a vermifuge, hence it’s folk name, “wormseed.” Leaves are 2-3” long, ½-inch wide with a crisp texture and very resinous flavor. Flowering plants are attractive to the same beneficials as other Chenopodiums, especially small aphid-eating autumn syrphids.
