Artemisia dracunculus, commonly known as tarragon, is a perennial herb belonging to the Asteraceae family. It is native to Europe and Asia and is characterized by its slender, upright growth and aromatic, lance-shaped leaves. The plant can reach heights of up to 1 meter and produces small, yellow-green flowers in late summer. Tarragon is widely used in culinary applications, particularly in French cuisine, where it adds a distinct flavor to dishes like sauces and dressings. It is also valued for its potential medicinal properties, including digestive support and anti-inflammatory effects, although scientific evidence is limited.
