Description
Tarragon is a perennial herb with slender, pointed leaves that are usually dark green. The leaves are linear, about 5-10 cm long, with smooth edges and a soft texture. The stems of tarragon are upright, usually up to 60-100 cm in height, and when they bloom, they form small, dense yellow-green inflorescences with small, inconspicuous flowers. Tarragon has a unique flavor with a subtle sweetness and a hint of bitterness, and a fresh taste. Its aroma is similar to that of fennel, with a strong aromatic flavor, and is often used to enhance the flavor of dishes. Tarragon is widely used in cooking, especially in French cuisine. It is often used in sauces, salads, soups and meat dishes, and can also be used to make fragrant vinegars and oils.
