Dix Farms Epazote, 22 lb Crate

Epazote, a cornerstone of Mexican and Central American cooking, is prized for its bold, complex aroma and robust flavor. Sourced by Dix Farms, this 22-pound crate of fresh epazote brings a chef-driven approach to specialty produce, offering culinary professionals and passionate home cooks access to a herb rarely found in standard grocery aisles. With its slender, serrated leaves and distinctive herbal scent—often described as a blend of anise, mint, and savory undertones—epazote transforms everyday dishes into authentic experiences.

When used in the kitchen, epazote imparts a unique depth to beans, soups, stews, and traditional Mexican recipes like quesadillas and tamales. Its assertive flavor stands up beautifully to hearty ingredients, balancing richness while adding a subtle, lingering complexity. Epazote is especially valued for its traditional use in reducing the heaviness of bean dishes, making it a cherished ingredient in both home and restaurant kitchens.

To enjoy the full character of this fresh herb, add whole leaves toward the end of cooking, allowing the flavors to infuse without becoming overpowering. Epazote pairs naturally with black beans, corn, and cheese, and makes an excellent addition to salsas or grilled vegetables. With the Dix Farms Epazote crate, you can bring an authentic, aromatic note to your culinary repertoire, whether preparing family meals or elevating a festive spread.
