measuring 30 cm to 1 m 50 cm, gently stimulates the
stomach, facilitating digestion. Tarragon is also a
great substitute for salt.
The fragrant leaves of
Tarragon are used as a gourmet and popular herb and as
an excellent seasoning in European and in American
cuisine. Tarragon goes into the preparation of Tarragon
vinegar and flavours mustard. The plant is an essential
ingredient in fine-herb mixtures. It is also used to
garnish fresh salads and flavour various liqueurs and in
perfumery. The pale-yellow essential oil produced by
steam distillation of the whole upper part of the plant
has applications in pickle canning, as a flavouring for
vinegar and liqueurs, in perfumery and in the
manufacture of scented toilet preparations.
