Dried Tarragon: The pride of French cuisine
Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) is one of the finest herbs in French cuisine, known for its elegant, slightly licorice-like flavor with a distinct hint of anise and pepper. This is the herb that gives the classic bearnaise sauce its soul, but its uses extend far beyond sauces.

Dried tarragon is a fantastic flavoring for light meats such as chicken and pork, and it elevates the taste of fish and shellfish to new heights. It is also an incredibly exciting ingredient in sausage making, where it adds a sophisticated profile to light poultry or pork sausages.
Dried tarragon has a much more concentrated flavor than fresh. If you are going to use it in cold dishes like dressings or mustard sauce, it is a good idea to crush the leaves lightly between your fingers and let it steep in the liquid to awaken the essential oils and aromas.
