Tarragon is a delicate, anise-flavored herb that doesn't have a known connection to histamine issues.
-
No flagged mechanism — tarragon isn't listed among histamine-liberating or DAO-blocking foods in well-established literature
-
Fresh is more delicate — fresh tarragon has a softer, more nuanced flavor than dried, and it's the form most commonly used in French cooking without histamine concerns
Fresh tarragon works well in sauces and dressings and is a good herb to experiment with if you're building a low-histamine kitchen.
