Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 go to Google and look up epasote aka epazote seeds for sale. You can grow them with no problem, they like warm weather so grow them in the late spring. You have no idea what comeas across the Mexican border to L.A. epasote is the least of the border patrols problems.....LOL Donna --- Beth Renzetti <elmothree2000 wrote: > is smuggling that stuff into the US legal??? > i'd like to try some...can I purchase it online? or > does anybody have a smidge that can be mailed out?

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I got curious, so I checked Penzey's website and they have some epazote (dried, I imagine) at an affordable price. The blurb says, " Historically, it has been used to reduce the intestinal gas that occurs with a diet rich in beans. " This is something I could use help with <g>, so I think I know where my next little field trip will be. If I hate the taste, I'm not out a lot of money. Dangerous, dangerous store (and website)! -ginger north of Boston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 It helps with the effects of gas in beans. The fresh adds a very pleasant subtle taste, the dried is quite bland.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hello Ginger north of Boston! Are you getting any snow? Lame flurries melting on the ground in NYC. How far north of Beantown are you? I personally don't have major gas issues so maybe I'll just not worry about it. I thought it lended a more 'authentic' taste or something. matildalucet <matildalucet wrote: I got curious, so I checked Penzey's website and they have some epazote (dried, I imagine) at an affordable price.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 We had some little flakes at bedtime last night, and I'm almost positive I saw some bigger flakes outside the bedroom window at one point this morning, but what little might have stuck melted away, which means I didn't have to shovel - yay! Though I WOULD like some to stick at a cross-country ski place within easy drive of here. I'm in Melrose, a northern suburb, not far off I-93. Typically, it takes me about half an hour or so to get into the city by car, longer if I take the bus and subway unless I miraculously catch things just exactly right. Sometimes beans give me gas, sometimes not so much. Lentil soup gave me plenty at lunch yesterday; cannelini in supper, almost none. I have generic gas-x in the medicine cabinet but stopping it before it starts, particularly if it means a field trip to sniff stuff at Penzey's, is tempting. -ginger north of Boston , Beth Renzetti <elmothree2000 wrote: > > Hello Ginger north of Boston!
