Taste and Use

Use fresh or dried Tarragon leaves and flowers to season poultry, seafood, and vegetables, or to pair with soft cheeses. The flavor pairs especially well with lemon, pear, and black pepper. You can also steep the leaves or flowers into a refreshing herbal tea.
Origin

Also known as Winter Tarragon, Yerba Anis, Mexican Marigold, African Marigold, and Sweet Mace, this cousin of the marigold is native to Mexico and Central America. Tarragon is said to have been used as a ritual incense by the Aztecs and as a key ingredient in a medicinal tea used by the Huichol.
