Tarragon has a pronounced aniseed and liquorice character

Fresh, green and distinctly herbal. This guide focuses on the leaves

Green and fresh, with a mild bitterness that can balance fatty, rich food

Mild onion flavour with a fresh green aroma. They give a lighter direction than raw brown onion

Aromatic and herbal, with a dry, slightly bitter note. The flavour is clearer after infusing

Soft, aromatic and often milder and sweeter in character than oregano

Green, delicate and best added at the end

Looks like pine needles, tastes better
