if you just forage this (where it grows as a weed) does it need any extra prep or do you just dry it for storage and that's it?

THAT’s what the flavor is in Ajiaco! Guascas or Quickweed. I couldn’t figure it out, glad to find out & how special it makes the soup. Maybe a substitute could be Mexican Oregano (have seen full dried stalks with florets) can work? And a bit of cilantro stems?
