Flavour & aroma

Sweet, aromatic and slightly aniseed, with a warm licorice note. Drying softens tarragon’s brightness but concentrates its underlying sweetness.

Best culinary uses

• Chicken dishes – casseroles, roasts, creamy sauces
• Eggs – omelettes, scrambled eggs
• Cream sauces – especially with mushrooms or chicken
• Fish – salmon, trout, white fish in butter sauces
• Vegetable dishes – carrots, courgettes, peas
• French-style cooking – a key component of fines herbes

Dried tarragon works best in moist dishes where it can fully rehydrate.

Using dried tarragon well

When to add: Mid-cooking, not at the very end

Quantity guide:

• 1 teaspoon dried ≈ 1 tablespoon fresh
• Use sparingly: Too much quickly dominates

Tip: Crush lightly between fingers before adding to release aroma.

Traditional & practical benefits

(Traditional use — not medical advice)

• Digestive support – traditionally used to stimulate appetite
• Mild sedative qualities – used historically in calming teas
• Anti-inflammatory properties – valued in folk medicine
• Supports fat digestion – often paired with rich foods

Tarragon’s affinity with butter and cream isn’t accidental — it helps balance richness.
