Artemisia dracunculus, commonly known as tarragon, is a perennial herb in the Asteraceae family. It is native to temperate Europe and Asia, but is now cultivated worldwide for its culinary and medicinal properties. Tarragon has a strong, anise-like flavor and aroma, and is used in a variety of dishes, including sauces, salads, and fish dishes.
It is also used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of ailments, including digestive problems, flatulence, and menstrual cramps. Tarragon is a hardy plant that is easy to grow in most climates. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil. The leaves can be harvested fresh or dried, and should be stored in a cool, dark place. The name "tarragon" comes from the Greek word "drakontion," which means "dragon." This is thought to be a reference to the long, narrow leaves of the plant, which resemble dragon tongues.
