2 benefits of French tarragon
Item 1 – it’s healthy
Tarragon is a very healthy herb to add to your recipes. According to healthline it has 8 key benefits. For example it is great for helping you sleep, decrease blood sugar levels, help with osteoarthritis pain, etc. etc..
Item 2 – it’s great for cooking
When cooking there are 3 different types of tarragon you can use – French, Mexican and Russian.
French Tarragon has much more taste then the other 2 varieties. For example if you use Russian tarragon you will need to use at least 4 times as much for the same flavour..
French tarragon is very easy to grow at home.
For example the picture on the right shows French Tarragon growing on a bedroom window sill in a pot, and will grow quite quickly.
It’s quite small in the picture simply because I tend to cut it back often for use in recipes.
