French tarragon
Béarnaise sauce flavoring
French tarragon is a variety of tarragon prized for culinary use, with a subtle anise-like flavor essential to French cuisine.
It appears in béarnaise sauce, fines herbes, and chicken dishes.
Unlike Russian tarragon, which is hardier but nearly flavorless, French tarragon rarely sets viable seed and must be propagated by cuttings or division.
