Dragon is a perennial herb with a lifespan of 5-6 years. The leaves are green and narrowly lanceolate. The flowers are small and greenish. You harvest the leaves before the plant goes into bloom and it is a leaf spice with a very characteristic scent. There are both Russian and French tarragon and the French one is the most valuable. The Russian dragoon has a faint taste and lacks the fine aroma of the French dragoon.
Dragon is a very popular spice, mainly in French cuisine. The fragrant leaves can be used both fresh or dried in soups, stews, salads, vinegar and sauces. Dragon, for example, is a typical spice in Bearnaise sauce. Keep in mind that the aroma is powerful and that care should be taken when seasoning.
