Tarragon is a herb used to flavour food. The form described here is dried and ground. It provides carbohydrate and protein, along with minerals including calcium and iron. Per 100g, it contains 43g of carbohydrate, 23g of protein, 1140mg of calcium and 32mg of iron. These figures refer to the dried herb rather than fresh leaves.
Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Dried herbs are generally used in small amounts, so their contribution to nutrient intake is much smaller than the figures per 100g suggest. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
