5 healthy herbs: It's easy to grow them

Freshen up your meals with herbs straight out of the garden or the pot on your windowsill.

By Adrienne Robertson

4. Tarragon
Tarragon has a subtle licorice flavour, but it is discreet enough that even licorice-haters will enjoy it in a mixed-greens salad with other fresh herbs. Drizzle a simple dressing over a mixture of basil, tarragon and chives for a fresh summer salad. Tarragon is beneficial to digestion and constipation and is also considered a mild sedative, and therefore good for insomnia. Its sweet taste also works well with fish and chicken and is widely used in French cooking. One of the only dishes it will not work well with is soups, because it is too pungent. Tarragon is difficult to grow from seed, so this is one herb you might want to purchase from a nursery.
