Tarragon is a soft and aromatic herb with a somewhat sweet scent. Tarragon leaves are narrow and green. The taste is reminiscent of anise. Tarragon belongs in the herb mixture 'fines herbes', together with parsley, chives, and chervil. It is a common product in French cuisine and is popular in, for example, stews, egg dishes, béarnaise sauce, fish, chicken, or potatoes.
