Epazote, also called Jesuit’s tea and wormseed, is a flowering plant found in Mexico, South America and Central America. The dried leaf is a common seasoning in Latin American cuisine, where it lends pungent flavor to soups, stews, chilis and frijoles de la olla, a popular and simple dish of cooked beans that is often the precursor to refried beans. Epazote is also added to herbal teas and tisanes.
