Look for a silky texture across the soft leaves, and avoid anything that seems as if it’s wilting, soft, or slimy at all.
Look for a very deep green color across the leaves, and avoid any that seem pale, yellow or brown at all.
Give a good sniff — you’re looking for strong, licoricey aroma here. Remember: the main reason you’re using tarragon is for just that flavor!
Once cut from the ground, tarragon does best in a humid environment, so try wrapping in a moist cloth or paper towel before storing in a plastic bag, and just swap out the cloth at least once per week.
