{"product_id":"hh-epazote","title":"Epazote Seeds (Organic)","description":"\u003cp\u003eEpazote (Dysphania ambrosioides, formerly Chenopodium ambrosioides) , also known as Mexican tea or wormseed, is a unique perennial herb native to Central and South America. This aromatic, wormwood-like plant has been a staple in traditional Mexican and Central American cooking for centuries. Note: Epazote (wormseed) was formerly classified as Chenopodium ambrosioides, but is now correctly identified as Dysphania ambrosioides based on updated botanical taxonomy. Both names refer to the same plant. Culinary Uses Essential in traditional Mexican soups, stews, quesadillas, and other dishes Use sparingly — its strong, resinous taste means a little goes a long way Best harvested for cooking when using fresh leaves Why Grow Epazote?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVariety Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eDysphania ambrosioides\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tender Perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbaceous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrop category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegetable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKitchen profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Epazote (Dysphania ambrosioides, formerly Chenopodium ambrosioides), also known as Mexican tea or wormseed, is a unique perennial herb native to Central and South America.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecorded feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Container Compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seed packet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 7 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight at Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 4 feet tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStarting location:\u003c\/strong\u003e Start Indoors \u0026amp; Transplant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the product-specific sowing figures for Epazote as the starting point, then adjust timing to local soil temperature and frost conditions. Prepare the bed before planting, preserve the recorded spacing, and evaluate moisture at root depth instead of following a universal calendar. Watch development as the stated maturity window approaches and harvest at the size, texture, or color preferred for the crop. Label the row with the sowing date so actual performance can inform future plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore sowing Epazote, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity. Ranges reflect biological and seasonal variation rather than a fixed promise. Label each planting with its date and location, then compare emergence, growth, and harvest with local weather. This record is useful for succession plantings and for deciding whether the crop fits better into an earlier or later seasonal window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore related options in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/herb-seeds\"\u003eHerb Seeds\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strictly Medicinal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21544447279217,"sku":"SNV7057","price":5.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/products\/snv7057-web_1.jpg?v=1747083873","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/hh-epazote","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
