It sounds to me like broccoli would be the most convenient and safest substitute for huazontle. I have been interested in botany since I was a kid, and when I read Rolly's suggestions that almost any local Chenopodium species such as Common Lambsquarters (C. album) can be used to make huazontle I did some research. http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=14653321 Nitrate poisoning in cattle fed Chenopodium album hay Three cows fed Chenopodium album hay died 30 min after showing ataxia, bluish-brown mucous membranes, rapid and difficult breathing, increased heart rates, tremors and coma. Brown-colored and badly coagulated blood was the prominent necropsy finding. Slight pulmonary edema was prominent and all visceral organs were hyperemic. The hay contained 2500 ppm nitrate-nitrogen and II ppm nitrite nitrogen. Epazote is also a species of Chenopodium and one website cautioned against using wild epazote in Mexican cooking unless the would-be cook knows exactly what he is gathering from the wild. If an adventurous person is determined to try Rolly's huazontle recipe using the correct species of Chenopodium, seeds can be purchased online. Just google for "red aztec spinach". |

Actually, what I wrote was that huazontle is know by various names in
English. It seems that many of these are misnomers. So much confusion has arisen over this that I have now deleted that sentence from the webpage. Thanks to all of you who have pointed out the confusion. Rolly |

Booger, Where did Rolly suggest that almost any local Chenopodium species such as Common Lambsquarters (C. album) can be used to make huazontle ? and what is the point you attempt to make with the cows and the epozote? http://www.nizkor.org/features/falla...l-to-fear.html |
