Dear Gordon,

I grow the latter as well (nice aroma for a _Chenopodium_!). What do
Mexican food gourmets use it for? Here it was once used as an
anthelminthic (now no longer officinal in Germany; irritating and
sensibilizing). Are there significant problems with worms in Mexican
food? I know of Mescal but this "worm" is in fact a larva and it looks
quite inactive...

Kind regards
Jan
