{"product_id":"epazote","title":"Epazote (Organic)","description":"\u003cp\u003eNative to Central and South America, this Mexican herb is easy to grow and hard to describe. The flavor is very fresh with a decided edge and aftertaste. Used in a variety of sauces, particularly with black beans, corn, mustard, and seafood dishes. This herb is known as the \"bean herb\" as using just two sprigs effectively combats flatulence, aiding digestion with its carminative effect. A couple of specimens is probably enough for a small garden, use only the leaves, fresh or dried, sparingly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e100 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/6282\/files\/MOFGA_Organic_Cert-04_RGBweb-1_50x50.png?v=1602182332\" alt=\"Epazote\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(50, 113, 56);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDysphania ambrosoides\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnnual\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 10-21 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOptimum soil temperatures 60-70ºF.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed Planting Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Sow on the surface and press into the soil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStarting Indoors:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost.
