I needed some more potting soil for the herbs on the upper deck of Casa
Sammamish, so I stopped at Fred Meyer today. Along with the other herbs,
I found a plant with thick, fuzzy, scalloped leaves. It was Cuban
oregano. I bought a plant, along with a pot of Greek oregano. We had
black bean soup and salad for dinner. I added epazote to the soup and
the Cuban oregano to the salad. I may not have added enough epazote to
the soup because it didn't have much taste to me. OTOH, the Cuban
oregano was muy flavorful. Worth a try if you can find it.

How much Epazote do you usually use? And I presume that you have fresh? I
have tried it twice and didn't notice a difference but I was cautious
because online references say to use it sparingly.

Have not grown Cuban oregano before, but I have grown Mexican oregano. I
use that fairly often.

I've never even heard of Cuban oregano, so thanks for the heads up.

I bought two epazote plants at the Yakima Fruit Stand. I probably tore
three good-sized leaves into the soup.
