Epazote: a herb with explosives?

Can we outsource the effort and crime of making energetic materials to a plant? Come along on a herb filled journey of self discovery with me, to find that the real organic peroxides were the friends we neglected along the way. Subreddit: / explosionsandfire

So once again there's more Patreons than I ever thought would happen so again i'm not sure this method of displaying names is any good. But here we are. I've assembled you into group of three because it works. Please assume that the people you are grouped with are your best friends forever and there's nothing that they wouldn't do for you.

Thank you for supporting this video, as well as all you $1 people, it all adds up a lot!!
Oh and now Gareth George joins Patreon too. Hello. You've made the description but don't get any friends i'm sorry. Group 66 is just you. Make it count :)
Special thanks to @mahilyard25 and @Kadurchandan on Twitter for helping me find a copy of the Essential oil document from 1908, located in the University of Michigan library.
Now words from our sponsors. Remember this is your home for the best chemistry based demonitization on KZbin, where all chemistry is yellow chemistry(even though it supposed to be red or brown sometimes clear) and don't mind saying sh*t alot
I was working in the lab, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
He did the mash, he did the monster mash
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
He did the mash, it caught on in a flash
He did the mash, he did the monster mash

Wear your fu***ng masks
Be on the lookout for epazote two, coming soon with even fewer explosions and fire!
Somehow KZbin has to pick out tags. Uhhh science. chemical reactions family firendly safe cool experiments mr backyard scientist
Also thanks to my partner and @Babish Culinary Universe for helpiign me make the best culinary jounrey ever

petition: Don't reset the Bad at Words counter every episode, let that baby just keep counting up until the end of time.

[@Mp57navy]

"Imagine making a plant illegal, that's just stupid"

[@ArayaRetta]

Fun fact: In Mexico, Epazote is commonly used as a season for cooked black beans. So if you think about it, it creates explosions, just not the way you expected.

[@gianlucatartaro1335]

The fact that Ascaridole looks like a disinterested scientist pairs perfectly with the whole explosive vibe.

[@haska9706]

When the police show up just tell them the 5 kilos of peroxides are unintentional peroxides and you'll get off scot-free

[@AnotherDayattheDock]

“All of my benzene evaporated oh no” 😐leukemia time

[@chuxmix65]

The paper you cited from "the olden times" mentioned that they started with thirty kilos of seed. Those pathetic dried stalks might have been your best source for the oils you wanted.

[@MrTangent]

While not explosive in nature, this plant reminded me of the bombardier beetle, which produces its own hydrogen peroxide mixture to repel enemies. Perhaps you could do an episode on them?

[@Graphene_314]

"were just left with horrible green sludge"

[@LauriLevola]

”Only one thing left to do with it” - I was 95% you’d smoke it

[@VSO_Gun_Channel]

You are my spirit animal

[@julioan94]

Suggestion: to use some of that epazote, you can try cooking it with mushrooms or in a mushroom soup. In Mexico, (my familiy at least) use it to prepare "huitlacoche" which is a black fungus that grows in the corn and it gives a very distinct and tasty flavor

[@dionvanstrydonck8552]

Explosions & Fire still on course to slowly becoming a cooking channel!

[@colewalshaw158]

everyday is a good day, when this channel uploads.

[@BrandenMcKinney]

"Do we need to consult the big bag of MSG yet?" Glad I'm not the only person with a big bag of crystalline flavor laying around

[@zagnut48219]

The "Will It Blend" guy at

[@lepeepersauvage]

When you can't make a bomb out of something, it's because you didn't experiment enough

[@munitiondragon69]

"We're hardly throwing the baby out with the bong water here"

[@jordananderson1594]

I was actually really impressed how volatile and reactive that oil was. I would imagine that made things interesting for the guy extracting 500 kg or whatever it was of that stuff!
