About Spices, tarragon, dried
Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) is an aromatic herb with slim, glossy green leaves and a distinctive flavor of anise and licorice with a faint peppery, grassy warmth. French tarragon is the prized culinary type, far more fragrant than the coarser, milder Russian variety, and it is one of the four fines herbes of classic French cooking alongside chervil, chives, and parsley. It is the defining flavor of bearnaise sauce and pairs beautifully with chicken, fish, eggs, mushrooms, and creamy mustard dressings, while a sprig or two will infuse a bottle of white-wine vinegar.
Tarragon contributes antioxidants and aromatic essential oils for negligible calories. Its delicate flavor fades with long cooking yet can easily overpower a dish, so a light hand and a late addition work best, and fresh leaves are far livelier than dried, which loses much of its punch. Store fresh tarragon wrapped in a damp paper towel in the refrigerator for several days, keep dried tarragon in an airtight jar away from light, or freeze sprigs to hold their aroma.
