Tarragon

About
Tarragon or dragon is a perennial herb, a member of the daisy family (Asteraceae) and a close relative of wormwood.

Tarragon has a spicy flavour reminiscent of anise. French tarragon is the variety generally considered best for the kitchen, but cannot be grown from seed. Russian tarragon can be grown from seed but is much weaker in flavour.

Sweet and aromatic with hints of anise and vanilla. Excellent with fish, eggs and chicken. A light sprinkling goes well with many vegetables, notably peas, spinach, cauliflower and potatoes.
