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.

Rediscover a leaf veg that’s famed for both its flavour and nutritional value.
