什么是龙蒿？

龙蒿 （ Artemisia dracunculu s）是一种属于菊科的芳香草药。新鲜和干燥的龙蒿叶和小花用于调味汤，面霜，蘸料和面包。它们也被添加到主要香料混合物中。

龙蒿具有类似于茴香和甘草根的独特苦乐参半的味道。新鲜的龙蒿是最美味的，而干燥的叶子和小花缺乏那种辛辣味，并且很快失去了味道。

作为一种农作物，龙蒿原产于西伯利亚，但现在在欧洲和美洲的部分地区种植。这种草药有两种常见的变种-法国和俄罗斯。法国品种丰富，香浓，可口。俄罗斯的变体风味和香气低。

由于它们的风味特征，法国龙蒿叶被广泛用于烹饪，而俄罗斯龙蒿则发现了更多的药用用途。

据说蒙古人使用龙蒿作为诱导睡眠，缓解疼痛和抗糖尿病的药物。该植物富含精油，香豆素和酚酸，具有这些特性。

希腊人咀嚼这种草药以减轻牙龈疼痛和牙痛。那可能是因为龙蒿含有抗菌，抗菌和消炎的植物化学物质，例如丁子香酚，叶黄素和香豆素。

这些植物化学物质可以治疗牙龈出血，牙龈炎，口腔溃疡，真菌感染和口臭（口臭）。

正是由于这些植物化学物质，咀嚼新鲜的龙蒿叶给您带来麻木和薄荷的余味。

诸如雌草酮，松油醇，sa烯，甲基丁子香酚，七叶皂苷，罗汉烯，毛细血管素和叶黄素的化合物是造成这种抗渗出活性的原因。因此，龙蒿及其地上部分可以有效治疗关节炎，哮喘，牙齿问题，糖尿病，GERD和UTI等疾病（4）。

What You Need

• Dijon mustard: 2 tablespoons
• Garlic: 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
• Dried tarragon: 1 tablespoon
• Honey: 1 tablespoon
• Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
• Chicken breast halves: 4, skinless

Let’s Make It!

1. Preheat the grill at medium heat and lightly oil its grate.
2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk the mustard, garlic, tarragon, honey, and lemon juice.

4. Place the chicken breasts, coated side down, on the grill.
5. Coat the top of the chicken breasts with the remaining sauce and close the lid of the grill.

Note: You can wrap the chicken pieces in aluminum foil and grill them. This keeps the food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, and makes cleaning up easier.

1. Turn the chicken over after 10 minutes to cook evenly.
2. Cook the chicken breasts until the pinkish tinge in the center has disappeared and the juices run clear.
3. This will take about 20 minutes.
4. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165°F (74°C).
5. Take the chicken out of the grill and serve hot with flavored rice and sautéed veggies on the side.

Note: If you wish to store the chicken breasts for later, wrap them up in clean aluminum foil.

I tried making all the three recipes I shared here. Take my word, they are the most delicious dishes I’ve ever made in my kitchen.

Tarragon gives a burst of sweet, pungent, lingering flavor and fragrance to your food – like a mix of anise, cinnamon, basil, and licorice root.

For those of you who don’t like this flavor, try substituting it with dill, rosemary, or basil leaves. To replace dried tarragon, you can use anise seeds or fennel seeds (1 teaspoon of dried tarragon = 1 pinch of these seeds).

The only known side effect of tarragon with some research backing is allergies. An allergic reaction may occur due to cross-reactivity with pollens. One may react to fresh tarragon due to an allergy to a particular type of weed. The reaction may cause a localized itch in one’s mouth (6).

There is less research on the possible medical interactions with tarragon.

In Conclusion…

Tarragon is a spice that holds a very special place in French cuisine, along with parsley, chervil, and chives. It has a long history of being used in traditional recipes and remedies.

It is believed that the Mongols were the ones to bring tarragon to Europe. They used tarragon to cure diarrhea, stomach ache, obstetric complications, and liver diseases.

Tarragon was used as a sleeping aid and breath freshener because its leaves have copious amounts of essential oils. These oils contain estragole, ocimene, pinene, and limonene – potent antioxidant and antimicrobial agents (7).

Its rich phytochemical profile makes tarragon an ideal herb to have in your kitchen garden as well as your medical supplies kit.

Do try adding tarragon to your signature dishes or brew a simple tea with its dried leaves and roots. If you are into aromatherapy, you can also use tarragon essential oils that are easily available in the market these days.
