Tarragón is perhaps more common in Europe than in America, especially in France and Russia, where it is grown and has local varieties that, although similar, vary in aroma and taste.

With tarragón you can marinate meats and many foods, and precisely there lies one of its main benefits, since tarragón enzymes not only help to give flavor and aroma to foods, but also help in the digestion process to decompose food in a gentle way, reducing not only heartburn, but also unwanted flatulence for those who suffer from them.

It is one of the favorite spices of French cuisine, in small quantities it is the main ingredient of a good Bernaise sauce; and an element to stir up the flavors of dishes such as fish, chicken or those that have the egg as a basis for your preparation

Likewise, tarragón is used in many European countries as an infusion to help get a good night's sleep, but as a relaxant of the nervous system for those who suffer from hyperactivity and nerves.

A good way to get a taste of this seasoning is to add some fresh leaves to roasted vegetables such as tomatoes and carrots.

Likewise, this spice can be used in the form of vinegar to dress salads, with the aforementioned digestive effect.

If you are going to store tarragón, in dissected leaves you must store it in a vacuum-sealed container and away from the sun, no more than a year. If it is in fresh leaves, you can place them in vinegar in a glass container inside the refrigerator.
