RIP OFF.... supposed to be one OUNCE [28 grams] for $5.99 but I weighed the contents at only 5 grams on my digital scale. See picture below. Also, exactly as the other reviewers stated, the contents was mostly sticks, stems, twigs, and hardly any leaves, but I used my spice grinder on the entire contents before taking this picture. Very little aroma, and almost zero taste. I've been traveling to Mexico since the 1970's and am very familiar with authentic Epazote. This stuff they sent me is unlike any Epazote I've ever tried, so I have my doubts as to it's authenticity.

Terrible, it's all twigs and no leaves. The twigs are brown and hard. There are a few leaf crumbs. Disposable, dishonest. If only everyone sold what they are supposed to, it would save us all a lot of headache, time, and energy. Come on!
rip off. its like the size of my thumb this box. half a spoon of herb. and poor quality, barely any smell to the herb. If you found my review helpful please click the yes button below so I know you found my review helpful, thanks
DO NOT BUY> TINY THUMB SIZE BOX OF EPAZOTE TWIGS> i grow epazote from seed and have picked it in the wild in Mexico. The part you need are the leaves and the tip cuttings.........they work as a digestive aide..........
I got only a tiny amount of the spice for the price. I'm sure it's very expensive but for the tiny little box it wasn't worth it and I couldn't taste it in my food.
You expect 0.1 oz. to be small, especially if expecting a leafy herb, but this was ridiculous. All sharp, woody inedible stems. I cooked some dried black beans with the sticks - put the sticks in a tea cozy. Tried to bite into the sticks after boiling for 1.5 hours - still wouldn't be able to eat them. Definitely less flatulence with beans, so can't say it didn't work. Will not order again regardless of how much beans make me suffer.
Would never order this product again! The entire minuscule amount was twigs! I'm not even sure if it's really epazote because it had zero smell and no taste.
I use Epazote in chili and other dishes. This product, unlike brands of Epazote I've ordered, was all sticks, very few leaves. I will not be ordering this brand again and urge others to seek other products.
