    Tarragon is a bushy aromatic herb belonging to the Asteraceae family. The plant is native to Siberia but is also cultivated in France, Spain, and North America. Tarragon is averse to wet conditions and prospers in well-drained, sandy, and light soil. It is a perennial herb that prefers warm, sunny spots and grows from late spring to early fall. The leaves of tarragon are bright green in colour and have a warm odour. It contains 0.3–1% essential oil, with the principal component being methyl chavicol. The oil is extracted via steam distillation from the leaves. Tarragon belongs to the sunflower family and is extensively used for flavouring, fragrance, and medicinal purposes. It is low in calories and contains nutrients like manganese, iron, and potassium. The French variety has a stronger flavour and is popular in culinary circles. There is high-quality stock from last season in circulation. Evaluation in terms of volume and quality for the 2024 stock is underway.
