Tarragon Nutrition facts

Tarragon

This herb is a small shrub featuring slim woody branching stems that reach up to a meter in height. It grows well in fertile-rich, sandy soil with adequate sunlight. Its leaves feature a smooth, dark green surface with pointed ends.
Russian tarragon (A. dracunculoides) is a more robust, closely related species of French tarragon. It, however, is quite inferior in flavor to its Mediterranean counterpart and hence, less preferred in cooking.
Tarragon herb has been used in various traditional medicines for stimulating the appetite and as a remedy for anorexia, dyspepsia, flatulence, and hiccups.
