What Is It?
Jeff needed Worcestershire powder for his Thanksgiving Turkey recipe. Being unable to find the powder at any local supermarkets he made a visit to Pendery's Spice House in Ft. Worth.
While there he made a purchase for me. Can you identify this unique herb from Mexico?
After crushing the dried herb and removing most of the stems I used a little less than a teaspoonful in a pot of beans. The label on the herb package suggested using a tablespoonful but I think the taste would be a little too strong for a new user!
The beans had a nice unique flavor not like any that I have tasted before. And yes there seems to have been a slight carminative effect. I think I will use a little more next time as we become accustomed to the flavor. While doing research on this herb I learned an interesting fact (it's common name in the US)!
Pigweed?

I've seen it. It's either manzanilla or piloncillo. But I think piloncillo is that brown sugar cube looking stuff
Actually the herb is epazote!
