French Tarragon

French tarragon has a savory herbal flavor with a light anise note that comes forward as it cooks. The dried leaves soften in warm sauces and release their aroma into cream, butter, and broth-based dishes. It is commonly used in classic French sauces and in fines herbes blends with parsley, chives, and chervil. Use it to season chicken, seafood, eggs, and dressings where a gentle licorice note adds depth.
