I started putting epazote in my beans a few years ago. It's a Mexican herb that takes the gas out of the beans. I found dried epazote in the Mexican section at the supermarket and tried it. Then I got some seeds and been growing my own. Smells like turpentine, but you don't need a lot. Fresh is a lot better than dried. Chop it up in the beans when you're about to serve it, or put a sprig on top as a garnish.
I'm told it's also brewed into a medicinal tea as a vermifuge. Grows like a weed. Each plant produces 1,000's of seeds. Here it is in my kitchen herb garden:
Hey Diddle Diddle, the cat and the Fiddle, A lie told to children at rest.
The Astronauts killed the Man in the Moon.
Growing up took care of the Rest.
