Tarragon

Tarragon is popular in many cuisines, especially French and Meditteranean, but it is one of the newer herbs in history. Although this herb has a bittersweet licorice flavor to it, it complements all the dishes it’s added to. In French recipes, it’s a standard ingredient in bearnaise and hollandaise sauces. In Persian cuisine, it surprises and refreshes the palate in savory pickle dishes or raw vegetable salads.

Tarragon made its appearance in France around the 1600s, so it has a shorter history than many of the other herbs you’ll find in your kitchen. It’s a perennial shrub regrowing year after year with dark green leaves and a woody stem.
