What it is
A leafy culinary herb with a distinctive anise-like note.
Plain-language buying tip
Choose fresh tarragon when possible for its more delicate aroma; dried tarragon is convenient but different in character.
Forms and use
Use in vinegar, mustard, chicken, eggs, fish, and creamy sauces; add it carefully so it does not dominate.
Common forms include fresh leaves, dried leaves. Match the form to the job: visible ingredient, even distribution, or a slow infusion you can strain.
Storage
Keep dried tarragon tightly sealed, cool, dark, and dry.
Quick questions
What should I check before buying Tarragon?
Check the stated botanical identity or style when available, the form, and the ingredient list. These details are more useful than relying on a broad category name alone.
