types of tarragon
Tarragon is probably most widely used and most popular in French cuisine. It is one of the main components of fines herbes and BÃ©arnaise sauce and forms a perfect partnership with many chicken and fish dishes in particular. There are two types of tarragon, French tarragon and Russian tarragon. French tarragon is the best type for cooking as it has a much stronger flavour, however it is harder to grow and must be cultivated from clippings and not from seed.
