What is Tarragon?

Tarragon is a perennial member of the sunflower family! Who knew? The scientific name for this plant is Artemisia dracunculus. The plants grow over parts of Eurasia and North America and other places. Tarragon is used quite a bit in French cooking.

The herb has a slight licorice taste, with citrus undertones. It’s quite good! The herb is used in chicken, fish, shellfish, butter, and cream. It’s also quite good with lemon. It pretty much goes along with just about everything.

Tarragon can also be beneficial to health. It can reduce blood sugar levels, inflammation, pain, improve sleep. The herb may also increase appetite by reducing leptin levels. This can be helpful for anyone who has trouble eating, such as those who have depression or are going through chemo.
