TARRAGON

Dried tarragon is a type of herb that is known for its distinctive flavor and aroma. It is derived from the leaves of the tarragon plant, which is a member of the sunflower family. 

When the leaves of the tarragon plant are dried, they take on a slightly more concentrated flavor compared to when fresh. Dried tarragon has a warm, slightly sweet taste with hints of anise and citrus. It also has a fragrance that is often described as similar to licorice.

The dried leaves of tarragon are typically small and thin, with a dark green color. They can be a little crumbly and brittle to the touch, but are easily crushed or ground into a fine powder.

As a culinary herb, dried tarragon is commonly used to impart a distinctive flavor to a variety of dishes. It is particularly popular in French cuisine, where it is a key ingredient in sauces like béarnaise and tartar. Dried tarragon is also used to flavor roasted meats, soups, stews, and even vinegars and oils.
