Gregg's Tarragon Leaves

Tarragon is native to a wide area of the Northern Hemisphere from eastern Europe, across central and eastern Asia to western North America, and south to northern India and Mexico.

Tarragon is warm and spicy in both flavour and aroma, similar to anise, however is delicate and enhancing rather than overpowering.

New Zealanders are familiar with the herb most commonly through sauce béarnaise, as well as authentic sauce tartare and remoulade (a sauce of mayonnaise, pickles, mustard, capers and tarragon served with meat and fish). The herb is particularly good with eggs, chicken and cream dishes.
