Tangy flavour for creative cooking
Out of stock
It’s a green-leafed perennial – but those young leaves have a remarkably citrussy taste. Is it something new? Well, people have been eating sorrel for centuries, and this variety was among the most popular since it would be among the first greens people could enjoy after a long, cold winter. But sorrel is no famine food. The French were quick to pick up on the possibilities its flavour implies, and they use young leaves in salads, soups, as a culinary herb, and even as a vegetable in its own right. Rediscover a leaf veg that’s famed for both its flavour and nutritional value.
