August – Tarragon
The glossy, skinny leaves of this green herb have a unique, delicate flavor profile, akin to a mix of star anise, licorice, and a hint of vanilla. One of the core herbs of French cuisine, tarragon can be used as a fresh herb or dried. Tarragon shines in creamy sauces, salad dressings, potato salads, and chicken dishes.
