Dried tarragon is the dehydrated form of the aromatic herb Artemisia dracunculus, most closely associated with French cuisine where it anchors classics like béarnaise sauce and fines herbes blends. Because it is used in small pinches rather than large quantities, the per-100g figures reflect a concentrated snapshot: 295 kcal, 22.8 g of protein, 7.2 g of fat, 42.8 g of carbohydrates and 7.4 g of dietary fibre. The drying process concentrates minerals significantly — dried tarragon contains 3020 mg of potassium, 1139 mg of calcium and 347 mg of magnesium per 100 g, alongside 274 mcg of folate, 210 mcg of vitamin A and 50 mg of vitamin C. No glycemic index is available for this spice. It is compatible with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo, Mediterranean and low-FODMAP dietary patterns.
