Dried Tarragon

Dried tarragon is the dried form of the aromatic herb Artemisia dracunculus, a staple in French cuisine. During drying, some of the fresh aroma is lost, so it is typically used in larger amounts than fresh tarragon. It works well in sauces, soups, marinades, and pairs nicely with poultry, fish, and eggs. Thanks to its long shelf life, it is a convenient alternative to the fresh herb. To preserve its aroma best, store it in an airtight container away from light and heat. Rubbing the dried leaves between your fingers before use helps release the essential oils and enhance the flavour.
