Tarragon

Tarragon is a fragrant herb used widely in French and other European cuisines, prized for its anise-like, slightly bittersweet flavor and commonly called French Tarragon or Estragon. It’s typically used fresh to finish sauces, vinaigrettes, poultry and fish dishes and is valued more for aroma than bulk. Although used in small amounts, Tarragon is nutrient-dense for an herb: it provides 3.3g of fiber per 100 g and is a notable source of vitamin K and vitamin C as well as minerals like manganese. Because it’s low in fat and calories but high in micronutrients and aromatic phytochemicals, a little goes a long way to boost flavor and nutrition. In dietary terms, Tarragon is best thought of as a concentrated source of vitamins and flavor rather than a staple calorie provider — its micronutrient richness and pleasant volatile compounds make it a useful addition to healthier recipes.
